Oof, 8 days into 8 months. A three hour tour…
“In and out, 20 minute adventure”
Do you think the door will fall off this one too?
If these leaked blueprints are to be believed…
No because it just landed perfectly fine as even NASA mission leads figured would be the case.
headline fever
And NASA will continue to contract Boeing.
Not a whole lot of other options at this point. I would totally be in favor of NASA cutting Boeing funding to kickstart a whole new competitor though.
That’s exactly what I mean. Let Boeing continue failing inside the atmosphere, not outside of it.
Space travel is… Hard. Even NASA has had issues (Apollo 13?).
Yeah but Starliner has been a special kind of shitshow. All the problems were pretty much avoidable with better project management and quality assurance. It’s another example of how beancounters will ruin everything if you let them run the show.
Come on… it isn’t rocket science.
It’s been a long time since Apollo 13.
So what?
Lmao sorry, I didn’t realize you were making a joke
After it landed without any major issues, there’s not really any alternative. They’ll go through with at least the three missions they already authorised. If those go well, Starliner may have a future.
