Diversity Leaks

[Lockbox]

The dreaded “low bid vendor scenario” strikes again…..

NASA is ridiculous. Astronauts are in constant danger from the time they strap into the spacecraft (Apollo 1) to the time they land (Columbia).

Hey Moe! These pipes are full of water!😜😝😝

I don’t want an affirmative action hire plumber—whether they manufactured the plumbing fixtures is irrelevant.

[cgbg]

Working in space requires a zero defect mentality—the exact opposite of a diversity mentality.

Good one!

The problem I have been hearing about is helium leaks in the Boeing Starliner spacecraft maneuvering system that stopped working when in flight, not in the suits that the astronauts wear.

[MtnClimber]

The spacewalk problem is with the suit. You are right. But that is the least of their problems. I bet NASA has “diversity” requirements on every contract so ILC may not be the same company they once were.

No one can hear you drown in space.

"...The astronauts "were not in any danger"

That kind of NASA stupidity is precisely the natural DEI outcome...

In another context, I seem to remember the admiral in charge at Pearl said the same thing...

WHAT IS THE OVER/UNDER FOR A RESCUE BY MUSK???

[Red Badger]

Probably about even at this point................

[MinorityRepublican]

I have to defend Boeing here. If they want the $$$ from the Feds, they have to play by the rules.

Very scary info. Mental people working on hi tech equipment, something is going to boomarang one of these days.
