Boeing explores sale of NASA business

[Surfdaddy]

I am once again reminding the thread that none of the reporting says the X-37B is on sale.

Boeing wants to get rid of fixed price comtract, I suspect X-37 is cost plus, so not on sale.

I believe the election outcome will have a profound effect on this discussion. The Andurils and SpaceXs of the world will replace the Boeings and Lockheeds, and NASA's role will change.

So, do you believe Boeing won't be able to sell its NASA either way, i.e., with Trump and Elon redefining NASA vs. a Harris Status Quo? Or what?

It's not exactly a "NASA" business, but does Boeing still own Spectrolab, maybe indirectly through Millennium Space Systems? Surely that's a valuable asset that could be sold for cash.

I think space policy is about to change dramatically along with how NASA does business.
