It is a truly remarkable company.

Boeing should be taking lessons.

I don’t know who is behind his billions of research but they appear to be the most confident and capable since the early days.

Prayer for success is most sincere.

Hmm...$25 billion for NASA, $29 billion for the Space Force (2024 figures) and who, exactly is going the farthest out in 52 years and doing

...a test of trailblazing equipment, including slim spacesuits and a cabin with no airlock. ?

Meanwhile, NASA and Boeing cannot even get their capsule back down.

Gemini didn’t have an airlock. Apollo didn’t have an airlock. Just means those inside the capsule have to suit up.

I'm concerned though.

I'm happy that they're moving forward but there sure is a lot of risk (without an escape) for the things they're about to do.

I hope they bring along plenty of duct tape. And a high quality duct tape not bought from China. Stuff comes in handy against leaks.

Everything about going to Space is Risky.
