#1 how they will win by buying Congress

It is probably their best strategy. At this point, I would not expect innovative space engineering from Boeing. Hell, they're having trouble making airplanes.

#2 I love how many people act as if they don't know SpaceX is heavily subsidized by the US government.

#4 Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas back in the 90's and shut down the DC-X program because it couldn't possibly work.

Of course, that's the operational model, suitably modified, SpaceX is using with the Falcon 9 first stage...

If they wanted to beat SpaceX they could have done it back in 1997. _They didn't want to_.

Now they want to? Really?
