Not sure how soon if ever Boeing is going to be putting astronauts in space again. I see Blue Origin stepping up and taking their place. Agreed though, should be a set of compatible standards for space suits.

Normally I would disagree with you, but Boeing is facing death by a thousand cuts right now. I could see the US government not letting them fail however. So I’d give it 50/50, not 100% no-fly-again

Boeing and gov employed sunk cost fallacy. Even if they do cancel it they’ll just restart the same project in 5yrs for twice the cost and a new name

Yep, Boeing indirectly employs millions in the US. They are going to get a taxpayer funded bailout and golden parachutes whether or not we like it.

Blue origin so far is a litigation company masquerading as a space company. I'll believe it when I see it.
