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

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?

Who the hell is in charge of quality control for coding?

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

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.

Hard to believe that controlling the thrusters wasn’t tested extensively.

There was an error in the Space Shuttle control software that was discovered after it had flown at least once that would have, under certain rare conditions, prematurely jettisoned one SRB.

Fortunately, those conditions never occurred.

From the folks that brought you the 737 MAX programming.

Boeing cheerleader response - “if they used ‘Murcans instead of untrained 3rd world monkeys to control the flight, everything would be fine.”
