    Can tiny SpaceX rock Boeing?

    They could literally buy part of Boeing’s space division if they saw any value in it. How the turntables.

      Personally I think while SpaceX has made impressive progress they just aren’t technologically advanced enough to fix the mess that is Boeing. Especially considering that leadership is one of the worst areas in SpaceX’s own portfolio.

        SpaceX is more technologically advanced than Boeing when it comes to rockets.

        Boeing is a slow, clumsy giant that has been necrotic for decades. We’re just now seeing the toes fall off. It’ll take a long time for Boeing to change, and in the meantime SpaceX will continue to be the leader in rockets.

          My point was that while SpaceX might be advanced in trivial fields such as rocket science fixing the huge mess that is Boeing clearly requires technologies that are basically indistinguishable from magic.
