NASA Probing Possible Improper Contacts Between Boeing, Official
The inspector general at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is reportedly looking into whether a senior NASA official made improper contact with Boeing (NYSE: BA) to help guide the aerospace giant in a lunar-landing completion.
NASA wants to return to the moon by 2024 and is awarding billions in contracts to companies to help it get there. As part of that effort, in late April the agency awarded nearly $1 billion to three companies to develop the landing systems needed to get astronauts to the moon's surface, and get them home safely.
