Boeing needs to put engineers back in charge. Excellence was what brought them to prominence. they need to return to that path before they crash and burn. no pun intended.
I suspect that any other space development company that buys the Starliner program and it's facilities would be held back for ten years or more. It would significantly increase its chances of going broke. The least harmful thing might be to sell off the parts as surplus and scrap. I suspect that most of the employees will have to be laid off. Certainly all the managers should be.
SpaceX's commercial crew capsule Dragon was also built under a fixed-price contract... which it adhered to, though much smaller than Boeing's contract. Get your facts straight.
Boeing’s problem is spelled MacDonald Douglas. Maybe an engineer instead of the previous CEO (accountant) can begin to rescue Boeing.Loved Boeing before MD management.
Keep blowing smoke up eveybody’s arses. The fault is not fixed price contracts. Boeing bid and won the contract at a price it quoted, didn’t it? Didn’t SpaceX get about half the amount of money as Boeing? Then the problem is not fixed price contracts but Boeing firstly under bid to win the contract, and then couldn’t get a trash can into orbit while SpaceX for half the money was able to design, build and fly a space vehicle into orbit, which Boeing should have been able to do as it had past experience of going to the moon. The facts are Boeing shouldn’t have had any problems, and SpaceX was a new company with no experience with half the money was able to get into space. Nothing to do with fixed priced contracts being Boeing’s problems, corruption was. Corruption, corruption, corruption. Keep saying that. I’ll puke all over you if I hear you blame fixed price contracts again.
Typical new CEO plan ‘Let’s concentrate on core business ‘ When that fails ? ‘Let’s diversify to spread the risk’ Then look to cut costs and reduce marketing costs 😂😂😂😂
Boeing can't get much of anything accomplished because of "internal friction". By this I mean that over the years it has developed so many policies and procedures, a significant number conflicting with each other or with common sense, that they couldn't make instant coffee in under five years for less than two billion dollars. The company is run by bean counters and it perplexes people where a quality product went?! I'm a mechanical engineer who used to work for Boeing, but am retired now. Seen it all and it isn't pretty.
Can Boeing climb out of this big hole? For the sake of it's employees , stock holders and the country I hope so. What will it take? I have no idea, my crystal ball is broken. 🙂🙂
When they hired the best qualified employees they were a ground breaking company but started hiring DEI/WOKE in upper management an destroyed their company reputation 🌈😳
Boeing selling the Starliner division. But I don't think that is that unexpected. Btw, Boeing made no promises. The Board of Directors did. Big difference.

No, it's spelled McDonnell-Douglas. Educate yourself.

So you talked about a capsule that didn’t make it to the space station, and then you said that it left two astronauts on the station.

They hired BUSINESS SCUM MBAs and money men. License executives who want to do business with Our Government.
05:16 - 6:18 Your narration of flight 2 is a repeat of flight 1. Of COURSE Starliner made it to ISS, crew needed to be on it to get stranded.
Boeing's Starliner, unsafe at any speed, where is Ralph Nader when we need him?
Starliner is bad, but you could at least use accurate information, instead of an AI making stuff up.
So what was the unexpected decision
I heard a "decision to possibly divest", which isn't a decision at all.
I don't like these AI videos.

it's not an issue, it's a problem.....
Howdy from Temple, Texas, USA!
This tars Aerojet-Rocketdyne as will..
Boeing, Boeing, gone.
The proof is in the pudding
