Must be due to the Muslim outreach.

The WSJ seems to think Boeing will be announced as the winner of the Commercial Crew Contract, even though they have not tested, built or flown any hardware to date as SpaceX has.

Of course, SpaceX cannot bribe nearly as many people as Boeing...

In which century, NASA?
And will you still be “applauding muslim accomplishment in space exploration” ?

They sure spent an awful lot of money to film a guy putting on a Space Shuttle crew suit and walk down a walkway for nothing.
Oh yeah “Commercial Crew program.”
Yippeee.. *someone, somewhere, farted forlornly*

Takes a lot more than an ambiguous person suiting up in an LES on a video to get folks on the outside of the inside scoop on the program excited...

You know there are soooooo many other things to worry about for those types of people...

But Boeing absolutely killed it filling in the paperwork! That is what matters. :)

I've got a few I'd like to launch into orbit.

Of course Boeing has the upper hand in this...

How dare those upstarts at that SpaceX think they can fly just “anyone” up to their ISS without paying their dues!!!

Boeing is the Shnizzle, DOG!!!
