I've been assuming for awhile that Northrop would buy these guys given all the Antares investment.

Their business model still seems pretty rough if it's mainly launch (with a bad track record), in space mobility (that they haven't proven out), and lunar landers (that only cater to academia).

At least they're a much more real company than Astra.
