This is an entirely substance-free article. I'd recommend you save your time and not read it.

Author here, what do you think would give this kind of content more substance? Still very new to this and genuinely looking for feedback!
HN probably isn't the ideal audience for your article.

Your content would be novel to someone who wasn't following Boom, but... that person isn't here. Because [0]. Parent could have put that more gently.

That said, if you did want to target HN readership (which is non-representative of general readership!), you could drill down into each of your points. How is Boom doing these things?

For example, their struggles to find a moderate-bypass engine (even uprated and recertified) without having to fund novel engine development is critical to the entire endeavor, and is still an open question [1].

In short, recommendation would be to (1) know your audience, (2) research prior art (previous HN Boom stories), and (3) bring something novel in your article, either through new reporting or synthesis.
