      1. This phrase from the Book of Daniel in the Bible is the handwriting on the wall proclaiming Boeing has been measured and found wanting, and their market share will be divided among competitors.

        It is a prophesy from the 6th century B.C.E. of what will happen to underperforming aerospace contractors in the 21st century.

  1. Failure is a great teacher. We need Boeing but not the corrupt underperforming leech of a company we have now.

    They should cut everything that isn’t working, shrink the workforce, identify new opportunities, and then hire new people to fulfill those needs.

    1. We need a robust commercial aircraft company, a robust transport military aircraft company and ….. for space, we have SpaceX

  2. The cheapest way to dispose of surplus 5-segment SRBs is probably to launch them into the ocean. Anybody have any payload ideas? Fireworks? A little mini-capsule for an overly dramatic ground hog? Senator Shelby’s car?

  3. What the hell? Someone accidentally deleted the last two paragraphs of Eric’s article, in which he blames Elon for causing American workers to lose their jobs and their kids to starve to death.

    Oh well. Everything will be back to normal next column.

  4. I’ve been curious about whether DOGE will touch NASA, due to obvious conflicts of interest. But then they probably don’t need to if Jared Isaacman is confirmed.
