The Painful Years of Doomscrolling Are Coming to an End: Update
Made a throw in the 5th wave. Most likely a reversal.
Virgin Galactic's Arguments:
Virgin Galactic claims that Boeing performed substandard work and did not provide all the required data. The company also asserts that it has rights to use the transferred trade secrets according to the contract. If Virgin Galactic can convincingly prove that Boeing indeed performed inadequately and that the transferred information rightfully belongs to Virgin Galactic or is used legally, the court may rule in their favor.
Chances of Success:
Forecast:
Predicting the exact chances is difficult without a detailed analysis of all the case materials. However, if Virgin Galactic's evidence and arguments are convincing, the company has a real chance of success.
Updates:
Starliner's Extended Stay:
NASA reported that the Starliner's stay at the ISS has been extended and it will not leave the station before June 22. This extension may impact the ongoing legal proceedings between the companies.
Potential Boeing Scandal:
These issues with the spacecraft could negatively impact Boeing's position in the legal case and improve Virgin Galactic's chances of success.

Chances of Success:
Quality of Evidence: Strong documentary evidence of Boeing's poor performance and confirmation of intellectual property rights.
Legal Strategy: Skillful legal defense and counterarguments that can persuade the judge of Virgin Galactic's position.
History of Lawsuits: If Boeing has a history of losing similar cases, this could strengthen Virgin Galactic's position.
Impact of Recent Events: The results of the CST-100 Starliner's mission to the ISS, which began on June 5 and was supposed to last eight days until June 13, 2024, will also significantly influence the outcome of the legal case.

Potential Boeing Scandal:
American astronauts are stranded on the ISS due to a malfunction of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. During the flight, four engines failed simultaneously, and before the departure to Earth, the astronauts discovered a significant helium leak, which is essential for the fuel system's operation. NASA is currently exploring the possibility of a rescue operation; however, the astronauts have limited time: the spacecraft can remain docked to the station for only 45 days.
These issues with the spacecraft could negatively impact Boeing's position in the legal case and improve Virgin Galactic's chances of success.
