Boeing deserves to die as the money grubbing losers they now are.
Yes, except that leaves us with one option for sending people into space again.
What do you mean "again"? You mean still.
When we had the shuttle. We decided we didn't want to be in that situation again, but we still are.
Thats what i said.
And one plane manufacturer.
Not really, Soyuz still exists. And it's not like Crew Dragon is unreliable or really all that bad.
Until Elon decides to use it as leverage to get something he wants.

No not at all. It is not a macro problem of organization. It's a micro problem of rich executive fuckwits running the corpo instead of actual engineers.
You can dice it up how ever you want, but if vapid, money-grubbing piles of trash are at the top, it will ALWAYS fail.
