Why Boeing Stock Rocketed 5% Today

Starliner has landed -- and Boeing stock is up 5% (as of 3:35 p.m. ET). As you'll recall, it's been two years since Boeing's ill-starred first attempt to launch its CST-100 Starliner to rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS) in an uncrewed flight. Six days ago, however, Boeing took a do-over and relaunched Starliner atop an Atlas V rocket, aiming to reach the target that eluded it the first time around.
