I think it's time to cash out my HyperLoop and Theranos profits, and go all in on this.
While I understand the point you're making, doesn't Boeing seem more than a little bloated? While 150 certainly seems too small, 56k seems entirely too large for the amount of new designs coming out of Boeing over the last decade or two...? At some point, you've got too many cooks in the kitchen.
