To the surprise of no one in the industry, Boeing also dropped out of XS-1
(the DARPA reusable first stage program) today without even getting vaguely
close to ever flying anything. Imagine what Masten would have done with
$150M. Possibly imploded under the stress! But they sure as hell would have
gotten closer to flight.
Jeff performed his role well of pointing out the arc of recent DARPA launch
programs.

*Boeing: Don’t Expect MAX Approvals Before Mid-Year*

Boeing is telling customers and suppliers that the 737 MAX will not
receive its first regulatory approvals until “mid-2020,” which all but
ensures MAX operators will not have the aircraft before the peak mid-year
travel period ends.
The FAA is finding issues with the FMS as well apparently. Mother Boeing
really took a hit on this one and the supplier industry fallout is becoming
significant. 3000 lay-offs at Spirit alone. What went wrong with Boeing may
be a book title soon.
