Hard to believe that Boeing built the Saturn V -- but the aggressive push by publicly-traded companies to shift focus from creating a long-standing reputation for quality, to rising quarterly earnings at any cost instead has led to an HUGE downgrades in quality and workmanship. At this point, I wouldn't trust Boeing to build a door knob.

Boeing really should be studied as a prime example of capitalism destroying tangible material value in favor of fictitious value.
