More Boeing mess up. I bet the C-Suite will look very different real soon.

Ok, so they can’t make things that work properly, but you can be sure that they are multicultural and diverse.

Watching the launch live on Everyday Astronaut’s YouTube channel, he remarked that it was unusual for the rocket to keep the spent solid rocket boosters for 40+ seconds after they burned out before jettisoning them.

Had they not dragged that extra dead weight for an additional 40+ seconds, they might have had enough fuel?

BABE: I need a gas station! Did I pass one?
OLD MAN: No, but the fox did! Squeeze him right there, maybe he'll pass another one!
BABE: No! No! Gasoline!
DR DOG: Oh, my boy, if it's drugs you want, the Old Doctor can help you out!
DOCTOR: Right this way.
BABE: Get your hands off me! I don't want to leave!
DOCTOR: Then roll up your arm and bend over! Do you want Regular or Premium?
BABE: Oh, this is ridiculous! You guys are nothing but a pack of cards!

Boeing/ULA also had a recent problem with a parachute failing to deploy during the Starliner abort test. Somebody forgot to insert a pine connecting the drogue to the main chute.

Today’s problem was also simple, having to do with a timing interpretation issue in the software. Basic checklists and simulations prevent these failures.
