Good. I really like Ball Aerospace for some reason. Guess I like their Mason Jars, too.

Ball Corporation doesn't actually make the mason jars anymore.  They spun off the jar business, which retained the rights to use the Ball name and logo on the jars.  Ball does still make the most aluminum beverage cans in the world.    And owns Ball Aerospace.

Merger of Raytheon and UT was simply to not let either company get swallowed up by Boeing/LM/NG.  It's actually a very interesting move to me as those companies have minimal overlap.

And MAXAR Technologies has been making itself merger and acquisition ready and MDA unit personnel have indicated that a follow on merger is expected and there parent company MAXAR Technologies has been watching the RT merger like a hawk as has SNC.

SNC is privately owned and grew by buying up lots of smaller companies. I can't see owners giving up control of SNC to merge with similar size company.

It's possible that Blue (Jeff) buy in the future for her company..., the space division of SNC, u other space giants, like Aerojet or ULA?
