Ha ha ha what a failure of a company.

Could this be a trick to try to put the liabilities of active Commercial Crew obligations into a dead end company while the parent keeps all $4.2 billion the government spent?

The suborbital one? At least this one sort of goes to orbit.

Maybe NASA should buy it so they can stop wasting money on profits for Boeing

Let's hope musk doesn't buy it.

There's nothing they need from Boeing. Dragon and Falcon are both proven platforms already. Boeing doesn't have much to offer that SpaceX doesn't already have a solution for.

Don't be too sure. Boeing space has heavy synergy with their early and missile departments.
