What has happened to Boeing? I thought diversity was a strength? Sounds more like a limp dishrag to me. Hope they got all those H1Bs cheap.
How sad to see what was once a company that built great stuff go to crap.
People on this thread disgust me.
Is that a picture of Musk laughing after his manned capsule blew up on the launch pad?
It’s why we test.
Has everyone forgot the constant and embarrassing string of Vangard failures prior to Mercury Redstone?
It’s why we test.
How about John Glenn’s anomaly that suggested his heat shield had deployed during his historic flight? Or the uncontrolled rotation anomaly when Gemini attempted to first rendezvous with the Athena target vehicle? Or what about Apollo 13??
It’s why we test.
Bah, why bother. You’re all geniuses so you all know better, right?
“suffered an anomaly today (Dec. 20) during its flight to the International Space Station”
Wait, isn’t this the Fantastic Four origin story?
“Are you telling us everything?”
“Not exactly, we’ve also run out of coffee!”
Ok , who forgot to Fill It Up ?
Nothing like inspiring Confidence in the Astronaut Corp.
Funny how Russia, the Country everyone disses for their archaic Technology can get their Soyuz Capsules there and back.
My Dad yelled at me when I ran out of Gas in my Car when I was 16. He should have had a Job at NASA.
Sometimes we even have to test in production ;)

Actually, I remember all of it, though I wasn’t around during Vanguard. My dad worked on Apollo, I was called my NASA to see if I wanted to help on this project..I said no..I’m way too familiar with NASA and Boeing. I chose not to be associated with constant waste and cost overruns..and excuses. My niece was a project manager for this program. She quit. So don’t tell me about failure. I remember the night my father was wondering if he was gonna have a job after Apollo I. I remember how he and everyone else decided to work 24/7 and get us into lunar orbit in 68. I remember when working for NASA and it’s subcontractors was a badge of honor and distinction...instead of a joke. Get over yourself.
heheh. one of my favorites.
I don’t really follow this nutcase, but this picture is worth a thousand words.
Just looking at her tells me everything I need to know.
Hmmm, fail or jebaited? LMAO.
Ouch!
That’s gotta hurt.
Space X thrilled and amazed us by landing their launch rockets on re-entry on barges in the ocean.
Boeing has obviously spent A LOT of MONEY to get this wrong?
Waaaaay past time to stop paying Russia $90 mill each to deliver our spacemen and woman to the I.S.S.
Get it right cause there be big rewards there folks.
*ping*
Thanks fieldmarshaldj. Looks like they'll need another check.
