On the dance floor you always “do the bump” with your hips . . never the thrusters.

What has happened to Boeing? From the 737Max to this, Boeing has lost it’s edge.

This sounds reminiscent of the failed management that led to the MCAS catastrophe. What on Earth has happened to Boeing? At this point, I think every one of their products needs a top to bottom re-evaluation , and their management structure needs a major overhaul.

I visit KSC regularly. Have since the mid ‘60s. They have a beautiful space mirror there with the names of all astronauts and cosmonauts that have died in the service of exploring space. There are quite enough names on there already. This is how you get more.

Software? Did Boeing use $9 per hour Indians to learn to code on this spacecraft?

I’ve become a big Spacex fan. Bezos still hasn’t flown anything beyond an unmanned suborbital prototype and Musk is launching 20+ per year. Boeing is a joke...look at SLS.

Jeeze he’s landing all his boosters on the pad on land and sea and reusing them. Damn .....he put one of his Tesla’s on a solar orbit that crosses mars orbit. Amazing!

Have Boeing CEO and a few directors ride it for the first time, instead of astronauts.

I believe that the acquisition of McDonnel-Douglas and their corporate baggage killed Boeing.

Boeing should be forced to do what SpaceX just did....successfully.
A live in flight abort test.
Plus send another unmanned Starliner to the ISS that they failed
to do...successfully.
