You have to wonder if NASA subcontractors, including Boeing, might be in a similar situation. Not sure how some jobs at NASA can telework.

Is SpaceX far behind? Elon Musk has been in denial for awhile, playing down the risk. His concentrated workforce at Boca Chica Shipyard, some living onsite in trailers, might be concerned.

US Govt released statement today that Boeing is going to be bailed out - AGAIN - to the tune of several billion.

The public are NOT happy.

I thought they rejected the bail out money when the treasury asked for part control of the company?
