As the last manufacturer of large passenger airplanes in the USA, Boeing's role in the US psyche and US economy is too big for the US government to let it fail.
NASA, despite being part of the US government, faced a much larger risk of being shut down after Columbia (more so than Challenger, since the Cold War was over).
