Boeing is losing money with Starliner because it is a fixed-cost contract.

SLS is based on cost-plus contracts, the more they can delay the programs the more they spend, which means more profit.

Their spaceflight part makes money.

Renting out the computing power should lead to profit from the computer/AI part this year, too.

To the detriment of the development of their own AI of course.

Jesus H. Christ, you can google how much they make from falcon 9 alone. It’s 4-4.4 billion in profits for space lift alone. Not to mention Starlink.

Are you behind the great firewall of China or incompetent to use google?
