      …imagine fuxking NASA pulling this off. After so many fuckups in USA that didn’t end with nationalising, a goddamn NASA going “welp, that’s it” and managing to push for nationalising Boeing…

        NASA’s biggest issue over the last 35 years is that it became a political target. It is really hard to do long term design when your mission changes every 4 years along with a different budget. NASA should have a budget that is only reapproved every 30 years and should not have to worry about outside influence from a president dictating its mission.

      Oh god, they certainly don’t deserve that. When a company screws up this bad you don’t buy them… Fuck…

      You just stop giving them contracts and watch them go belly up. Problem solved. We have plenty of other aerospace companies to fill the void and plenty of new startups who would love the chance to prove themselves.

      When a company is collapsing in on itself, why would you want to pay a bunch of executives for privilege of inheriting their mess? Wait… are you the CEO of Boeing?
