Space Wars: dirty tricks by Boeing and LockMart?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06...es_consultant/

I wouldn't be surprised if the money trail would lead directly or
indirectly to Boeing and / or LockMart. SpaceX is overturning every
applecart in the space business and these two behemoths are hell bent
on protecting their billion dollar businesses with every means
possible, including bribing U.S. politicians and ordering them to order
NASA to stop doing business with them. The Senate Launch System was
part 1, part two will be to kill COTS and part three will be the
vaporware CST-100 which, if you really paid attention, is nothing more
than a couple of PowerPoint slides, but is designed to blunt SpaceX's
Dragon offering. The bought-off Senators will conclude that this system
has the most merit and when Boeing actually has to build it its
pricetag balloon into a multi-billion dollar project taking forever to
get off the ground.

What do you expect from someone who is "Anonymous"? Since the
beginnings of Usenet, anyone who tries to be completely anonymous can't
be taken seriously, at least not without some primary sources to back up
their assertions. I'm sure "Anonymous" has absolutely nothing to back
up his wild assertions.

CST-100 "vaporware"? Um, there's a structural test article that's
actually been built, displayed, and is being test:

Whatever else happens, all the contenders have gone well past the
power point presentation stage. Just look at that wonderful Orion MPCV
structural article!
