lol it'll probably be spacex, but would've been hilarious
Hard to believe that Boeing built the Saturn V -- but the aggressive push by publicly-traded companies to shift focus from creating a long-standing reputation for quality, to rising quarterly earnings at any cost instead has led to an HUGE downgrades in quality and workmanship. At this point, I wouldn't trust Boeing to build a door knob.
Boeing really should be studied as a prime example of capitalism destroying tangible material value in favor of fictitious value.
I was having a really good chuckle at an article yesterday titled "No, starliner isn't stranded in space" with the immortal, smug lib words "Here's why" tagged on the end.
I'll die laughing if the day after the thing literally died.
If it is Boeing I ain't going
Boeing killed John Barnett
I wonder if the astronauts will be able to sue Boeing for the extra damage that time did to their bodies.
No one could have seen this coming
It would be a bad look all around, because it would mean the American government had funneled a total of $5.8 billion into malfunctioning junk.
fucking politicians outsource spacecraft to an ancient 3rd party bestie and then have the nerve to go back to NASA and ask 'wtf'?
whats the problem here? are you fucking kidding? you its you politicians, you are the god damn problem.
And the politicians do that because they’re funded by the companies that in turn get these sweet contracts. This is late-stage monopoly capitalism.
