And Boeing is known for quality. Wishing the best to everyone on that mission.
a new Challenger has arrived!
I see what you did there, well done.
Got any spare bolts?
Astronauts: ...do I have to?
looks like a third grader's diy R2D2
I assumed this was an Onion article by the title. It's not.
Whatever the reverse of eating the onion is I did as well.
Shitting?
Vomiting?
Loving that the nosecone looks like R2D2.
Unfortunately all communications between mission control and the pod must be made in beeps and whistles
Hopefully, if the door blows off, everyone is wearing their seatbelt. Those astronaut must know they're doomed, no?
We know it will fail but the question is how. Will the door fall off? Will the oxygen supply explode? Will all the astronauts misteriously commit suicide after it turns out they are whistleblowers? Who knows?
The front will fall off.
At least it will be out of the environment.
wasn't this built so the front wouldn't fall off?
Fall out a window from 200 miles up?
china will detonate flares in front of it
meta
In an odd coincidence, the first crew of the Boeing space probe will consist of 10 whistleblowers.
Don’t worry Lord Titus we have plenty of whistleblowers.
Whistles cant blow in a vacuum.
But space capsules can. Just takes one loose bolt.
I came here for these jokes.
Oh no
Here’s an interesting article from ArsTechnica on this - https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/05/the-surprise-is-not-that-boeing-lost-commercial-crew-but-that-it-finished-at-all/
That's a very good read. Cheers.
