Boeing’s Spacecraft to Return to Earth After Test Problem
quote:
BOEING'S SPACECRAFT TO carry humans to the International Space Station will be forced to come back to Earth without docking, following a problem in orbit after a successful launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Friday morning.
The crew capsule, Starliner, did not perform the necessary maneuver to insert itself into the correct orbit after detaching from the Atlas V rocket that launched it.
A timing anomaly caused the spacecraft to believe it was in an orbital insertion burn when it was not, and the spacecraft burned more fuel than was planned. Officials have put it into an orbit that will allow it to land at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in 48 hours.

Wham-O is reportedly going to take over the Boeing space program.

Because Boomers are retiring and Millenials are stupid and lazy.
Expect the decline in quality to continue in many manufacturing fields

Boomers would get it up there, docked and back home with nothing more than a pencil and a slide rule.

They are certainly not as good as those aliens flying around our Navy ships and aircraft.

Everyone in South Carolina got to see it flying over this morning. We knew something was off.

I seem to remember a lot of videos of rockets exploding during their testing phase back in the day.
