Yeah saw something about the spacecraft clock being “incorrect”. Doh!!! I think the Boeing people are going to have a painful holiday season... | |||

It sure has been a rough December for them. Where's Elon Musk when you need him? LOL. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

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... | |||

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... | |||

December? It's been a rough year or two for them with the 737 Max fiasco and now this? Damn. | |||

- 737 MAX grounding - Loosing the Quantas Airlines' Project Sunrise competition - Delays and problems with the USAF KC-46 program - 737NG pickle fork problems - Aeroflots cancellation of 22 787's - 777 engine problems with GE Things ain't going too well at Boeing | |||

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. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

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. | |||

| An investment in knowledge pays the best interest |
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. | |||
