Wilmore added that he felt pretty confident, in the aftermath of docking to the space station, that Starliner probably would not be their ride home.

But it was designed and assembled using the latest DEI practices, and THAT is the most important thing.

Mark Kelly is the worst, willing to sacrifice his fellow astronauts for politics.

DEIs had thousands, if not millions of years to get us into space, but they could not even develop hot air balloons. The idea that they could build something as complex as a spacecraft capable of docking is PREPOSTEROUS. In fact only 3 non-DEI societies have managed to pull that off (China, Russia, and pre-DEI USA).

The problem with Kelly’s assertion that they could have come home anytime on that capsule ignores the fact that SpaceX and Boeing have very different suit connections.

The problem began when Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas and moved corporate to chicago.

Boeing was run by engineers and if there was a problem they could walk next door to the plant.

“Managers” are killing them.
