Boeing has long been involved in spaceflight, dating back to the first mission that took an American into space, showcasing its historical significance in the industry.
Despite its heritage, Boeing's Starliner capsule faces uncertainty with NASA expressing concerns over thruster malfunctions, and the company has yet to complete a crewed mission.
SpaceX, in contrast, has successfully completed seven crewed missions to the International Space Station, highlighting the competitive edge it has gained over Boeing in manned spaceflight.
Analysts suggest Boeing might need to reconsider its manned spaceflight strategy, potentially divesting from the sector altogether, especially with the ISS's retirement looming in 2030.
