    That really seems like it should be Boeing’s job. Prove to NASA why they should use it for high energy probes. Prove the value for heavy GEO sats. Calculate out cost savings from a higher launch rate and bid on contracts based on that.

    None of those trades close, but it still shouldn’t be NASA’s job to say so.

      Boeing can’t currently build airplanes to spec and you want them to more involved with building rockets? Do you just not like astronauts or…?
