Not sure how soon if ever Boeing is going to be putting astronauts in space again. I see Blue Origin stepping up and taking their place. Agreed though, should be a set of compatible standards for space suits.



Normally I would disagree with you, but Boeing is facing death by a thousand cuts right now. I could see the US government not letting them fail however. So I’d give it 50/50, not 100% no-fly-again


Yep, Boeing indirectly employs millions in the US. They are going to get a taxpayer funded bailout and golden parachutes whether or not we like it.


Boeing and gov employed sunk cost fallacy. Even if they do cancel it they’ll just restart the same project in 5yrs for twice the cost and a new name


Blue origin so far is a litigation company masquerading as a space company. I'll believe it when I see it.
