More "Didn't Earn Its"
This country has sunk to it’s lowest depths.
We need to elect candidates who are committed to cutting Big Government down to size. There’s no point whatsoever in electing people who are just going to keep on growing Fedzilla and adding to our problems.
This should be a litmus test for our votes IMO. Its the only way to stop the overbearing influence and abuses of massive government. Our Founders recognized that and tried to keep government as small as possible. But we didn’t listen and instead have done just the opposite.
“This country has sunk to it’s lowest depths.”

It doesn’t look like we’re even close to bottoming out yet.
If any of you took the time to actually read the article, the scrub had nothing to do with Boeing of the Starliner. It was a computer on the Atlas rocket - not made by Boeing.
Oh, come on! The name “Boeing” was in the title of the article and we all know what that means.
I understood it was a precise
Launch window with no hold time.
It sounded to me like a ground systems issue. Having worked 30 years launching rockets this doesn’t sound like a problem with Starliner.
Zero to do with Boeing.
Atlas-V has many launches under it’s belt so maybe the added complexity for the ground systems related to Starliner could be what got hosed? They need to sync up the ground system’s with the Launch Vehicle and their procedures to get a green board for launch. Especially when it all get turned over to the ground launch system/computer for the remaining 4 mimutes of terminal count.
Anyhow, it’s pretty embarrassing for ULA, they should have had all that ironed out by now.
NASA is so bad and lazy, they couldn’t even build an updated capsule, they just stuck an Apollo capsule, on an updated rocket.
Ooops and thanks.
That’s right. The timing was set to rendezvous with ISS.
It isn’t the launch that has everyone worried. It’s the reentry. The Boeing made capsule had over 100 places where the heat shield was compromised during its unmanned flight.
We do, but they are working with Musk.
Bill Nelson is not the leader NASA needs.
He’s a big believer in DEI and resists any attempts to modernize NASA.
China claims a lot of scientific breakthroughs. Most of which are utter rubbish. Especially in the medical field China is notorious for plagiarism.
Bill Nelson is 81 years old.
He should be long retired.
NASA needs new and young blood.
No one wanted to sit in an exit row...
Diversity!
Equity!
Incluuuuusion!
Safe!
Tested!
Effective!
The whole obsession with colonizing a brutally cold nearly airless rock (not exploring ... colonizing), for me at least, is another head scratcher. I'm a science fiction fan of sixty plus years standing. But I think the oceans and the southern pole, plus Luna, are better candidates to make your colonizing bones.
Embarrassing if true. This could have been tested and worked out dry, before the rocket was fueled.
An Expensive and time-consuming error, but then NASA is known for that, just like Boeing is big on software bugs...
