WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET IN TERMS OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT IS ALREADY SET TO GO INTO ACTUAL VOTES. JONATHAN: THAT'S THE LATEST ON THE POLITICS OR LET'S TURN TO BOEING. BOEING FACING A NEW SETBACK TO ITS SPACE AMBITIONS.
NASA ANNOUNCING IT WILL NOT USE BOEINGS FAULTY STARLINER CRAFTER TO SEND HOME ASTRONAUTS STUCK AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. THE AGENCY DECIDING IT'S SAFER TO USE ELON MUSK'S SPACEX. GUY JOHNSON JOINS US FOR MORE OUT OF LONDON.
HOW MUCH OF SETBACK IS THIS? HOW EMBARRASSING IS THIS FOR BOEING? GUY: IT'S USUALLY EMBARRASSING.
THEY SENT TWO ASTRONAUTS UP AND THEY WERE MEANT TO BE UP THERE FOR A WEEK. THEY BEEN UP THERE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND WILL BE UP THERE UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR. YOU HAVE TO RECONFIGURE CAP SEALS ON THE SPACEX SIDE AND THE BOEING SIDE.
THEY WILL BRING THE CAPSULE THAT WENT UP BACK ON CRUDE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RUN THE RISK OF BRINGING THE TWO ASTRONAUTS BACK IN. IT'S GOT THRUSTER ISSUES AND THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT REENTRY WOULD LOOK LIKE. THIS IS A PROGRAM JOB THAT IS BILLIONS OVER BUDGET AND ITS BEHIND SCHEDULE.
IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. GOING IS SAYING THAT IT IS COMMITTED O THE PROGRAM. BUT REMEMBER, OU HAVE A NEW CEO COMING .
HE'S GOT A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER AND HE'S LOOKING T EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW. YEAH, IT'S HUGELY EMBARRASSING. IT'S ALSO POTENTIALLY FINANCIALLY VERY CONSEQUENTIAL.
THERE IS A LOT ALREADY INVESTED IN THIS PROGRAM. WHAT HAPPENS O IT NEXT WILL MATTER TO BOEING SHAREHOLDES. JOATHAN: OW BLANK I THAT PIECE OF PAPER?
DOES THE INCUMBENT EO HAVE THE OPTION OF STEPPING WAY FROM THAT BUSINESS? GUY: I THINK EVERYTHING IS ON E TABLE. I THINK YOU HAVE TO FIURE OUT HOW YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE THE SHIP.
LET'S SAY IT'S A PRIORITY, HOW HIGH IS IT IN TERMS OF E LIST OF THINGS THAT NEED T GET DONE HOW BG OF A PRRITY IS THAT? DOES HE NEED TO MAKEURE THE CIVIL SIDE OF THE BUSINESS S XED FIRST? IS THERE ENOUGH BANDWIDTH TO SOLVE ALL OF THE PROBLEM SIMLTANEOUSLY?
THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON AT BOEING AT THE MOMENT. THE CIVIL BUSINES NEEDS TO BE PUT BACK ON N EVEN KEEL. THE MAX PROGRAM, WHAT HPENS WITH A MAX REPLACEMENT IS THE NEXT BIG CHALLEN.
WHAT'S HAPPENG WITTHE 87? WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE 777X? THERE ARE LOT OF CHALLENGES THAT ND TO BE RESOLVE FOR THIS COMPANY.
YOU COM BACK O THE SPACE PROGRAM, SURE, IT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE AND I'S GOI TO BE SOMETHING TIS OMPANY HAS TO RESOLVE WHAT WINDOWS DOES THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN AND DO YOU HAVE THE LURY OF TIME WHEN SPACEX IS ING WHAT I'S DOING GHT NOW? REMEMBER IT HAS ANOTHER UNCH ING UP. IT HASANOTHER LAUNC GOING UP.
IT WILL BE SENDING ASTRONAUTS UP. THE WILL SPEND TIME IN ONE OF THE GHEST -- WE HAVE EVER SEEN THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAV A COMPETITOR INI BTER D FASTER. DO YOU STICKITH TE PRGRAM AND CONTIUE TO MAKE LOSSES?
IT'S A REALLY BIG CHALLENGE. OEIIMIEDES IFIW ' TH OM U NITTNNA QSIND W T ALUE .
