As the Q4 2025 earnings season commences, BWX Technologies and Diamondback Energy emerge as critical indicators of the U.S. defense industrial base and energy security posture. These upcoming reports will provide essential data on nuclear propulsion scaling for the AUKUS pact and the energy resilience required to sustain domestic defense manufacturing.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has publicly stated that both the space agency and Boeing share responsibility for the technical failures that plagued the Starliner spacecraft. This admission follows a series of high-profile blunders that delayed missions and forced a reliance on rival SpaceX for crew transport.
NASA has officially targeted March 6 for the launch of Artemis II, the first crewed mission of the Artemis program. The mission will carry four astronauts on a high-speed lunar flyby, marking the first human voyage to the vicinity of the Moon in over half a century.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has issued a scathing public rebuke of Boeing and internal agency managers following the botched Starliner astronaut flight. The critique signals a major shift in NASA's tolerance for legacy aerospace delays and technical mismanagement.
NASA leadership has issued a scathing critique of Boeing and internal agency managers following the continued technical failures of the Starliner spacecraft. The public rebuke signals a breakdown in the long-standing partnership and raises questions about Boeing's future role in the Commercial Crew Program.
