SpaceX Swipes Boeing's Military Space Shuttle Business
The scoreboard this month reads Boeing (NYSE: BA) -- 5: SpaceX -- 1.* So why is SpaceX grinning, and Boeing is groaning?
On Sept. 7, Boeing's X-37B military "drone" space shuttle lifted off from Cape Canaveral on its fifth mission for the U.S. Air Force. (What mission would that be, you ask? Top Secret). But for the first time ever, Boeing -- which built the X-37B -- didn't have a hand in actually launching the spacecraft it built.
This could be the beginning of a bad trend for Boeing.
