Where's Elon Musk when you need him? LOL.

Likely cause by too much negative mojo by Boeing when SpaceX blew up their test vehicle during ground ops...

Looks like SpaceX is back in the lead... for now anyway...

Starliner thought it was on an orbital insertion burn..."

I bet there is an insurance carrier feeling an orbital insertion burn.

Something that big and I bet Boeing has to self insure. Don't think there is a huge market for insuring space launches, but I could be wrong. Lloyds of London is in some weird stuff...

I think a lot of employees will lose their jobs over this and the 737 MAX fiasco. It's going to take years to undo the damage to Boeings image worldwide. It's a shame really.

When production on the 737 Max is stopped next month I’m hoping the US economy isn’t damaged too badly.

Yeah, you have to hand it to the Russians - developing a spacecraft and updating it as they go.

Instead of developing one like Apollo, working all the bugs out, then dumping it for the Space Shuttle, then dumping it with nothing else flying, only to start making 3 "Apollo like" Spacecraft again. Which will be flying someday, maybe.

Dumb, dumb, and dumb.

I wouldn't call the first one a "bug", but it was dumb, dumb, dumb.

Things ain't going too well at Boeing

The string of issues is so significant, it must start with piss-poor executive leadership and a poor quality + engineering culture. Boeing shareholders need to demand changes within the topmost ranks to right the ship.

I simply meant we had done all the hard work of wringing the Apollo CSM out and then we cancel them to work on the Shuttle with nothing flying for 5+ years.

Then we get the Shuttle going and cancel it before having something flying, going on nearly 9 years now hitching rides on the Soyuz.

Hopefully we have learned our lesson and will use Orion, Dragon, and Starliner to good effect and then only retire them when we already have a viable replacement flying.

The local Boeing facility here in Charleston is being hammered with racial/wrongful termination lawsuits as well. Up until recently it seemed as if a new one was hitting the local news sites once a month.
