Everyone in South Carolina got to see it flying over this morning. We knew something was off.
Nope. There'd been articles ahead of time of how the east coast would be able to see it this morning. That was expected.

I seem to remember a lot of videos of rockets exploding during their testing phase back in the day.
Key words being "testing phase"...not an actual mission to the space station.

Today's flight is literally called the Boeing Orbital Flight Test.

You're just learning that now?
I could have told you that back in 1997 when I started the ISS Program. Now I'm on SLS and there's SERIOUS concern about that program!

Boomers would get it up there, docked and back home with nothing more than a pencil and a slide rule.
I know we're having a laugh here, but there was a thread a few weeks left where at least 2 posters unironically claimed boomers got us to the moon lmao

Because Boomers are retiring and Millenials are stupid and lazy.
Expect the decline in quality to continue in many manufacturing fields
Let's play a game... who is responsible for the item listed... Boomers or Millenials?
- Management decisions to outsource engineering work
- Management decisions to reduce the budget
- Training and education of new hire engineers
- Cutting costs on the assembly line
- Teaching engineering classes in college
- Being the dean and on the advisory committees that decide what subjects are taught in engineering school

Have we gotten to the Airbus propaganda post yet?

Well, they got it into orbit and it flew. If you wanted them to hit a SPECIFIC orbit, maybe you should've put that into the name of the test!

They just don't make things like they used to.
Who were the engineers for the Space Shuttle?
Pretty sure Boomers have killed more astronauts than any other generation

The test was to get it to dock at the space station.
It did not get into the proper orbit to make it.
That's a fail.
