Has Boeing flown any hardware yet? I know SpaceX sent a spacecraft to the ISS and docked with it and returned it safely.

"Space" and "Orbiting" are two different things.

The Dream Chaser is a good design.
Too bad the Turkish Muslim Ozmen couple ended up owning it, and that it has to be launched on a rocket that depends on Vlad Putin’s RD-180.
To: Regulator
That is how SNC is pulling so many contracts. Ozmen put his wife in the position of company president. The only thing that can beat her on minority set asides would be a disabled vet eskimo, but Chugach only does service contracts.
I've been waiting for two years for one of their subsidiaries to complete what should have been a simple contract, but now the items are having to go back due to technical issues with things that didn't used to be difficult to do. With regards to on-time functional delivery, they have completely stepped on their collective private parts.

IIRC, the Atlas V is not man rated. I’m sure Boeing is working on that as well.

One day soon, there will be a Seven Eleven in orbit selling garbage to astronauts. “Hey buddy, lotto is 80 million parsniks this week! Wanna ticket with that latte and 12 pack?”

Atlas, Centaur and a pepped up Apollo capsule? It's back to the future to play catchup with the Russkies.

When they canceled Ares they said that they would continue Orion for possible ISS missions. They have also changed crew capacity, IIRC. A lot of the work is either re-inventing Apollo or extrapolating from Apollo.
” Spacecraft to serve as the primary crew vehicle for missions beyond LEO
Capable of conducting regular in-space operations (rendezvous, docking, extravehicular activity) in conjunction with payloads delivered by the Space Launch System (SLS) for missions beyond LEO
Capability to be a backup system for International Space Station cargo and crew delivery”
