Boeing (BA) has replaced the head of its Starliner spacecraft unit after the vice president leading the unit, Mark Nappi, departed the role, Reuters’ Joey Roulette reports. Nappi has been replaced by the company’s International Space Station program manager, John Mulholland, a Boeing spokesperson told Reuters.
