We believed that Starliner could bring them home safely, but NASA didn’t want to chance it,” the employee said.

“They have their own PR issues and don’t need two dead astronauts,” he added


damn NASA, why you gotta let a little thing like that stop you from using the starliner?

You're hurting Boeing's feelings.

We have had so many embarrassments lately, we’re under a microscope. This just made it, like, 100 times worse,” one worker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.

“We hate SpaceX,” he added. “We talk s–t about them all the time, and now they’re bailing us out.”

Boeing has spent about $1.5 billion in cost overruns beyond the initial $4.5 billion contract it secured with NASA, which is hoping to make Starliner its second mode of transportation to the ISS alongside SpaceX’s Crew Dragon.

I hope they get home safe. Of course it’s humiliating that Elon may have to rescue them. They should be thankful. I hope it all goes well.

They are going to bring it back. We will find out. This is not a big deal.

The government screws up most everything. So maybe it is their fault.

They’re not according to that article. Upset that they can’t go home on their POS leaky craft and Elon has to rescue them

Dude. Everyone talks shite about Boeing. Because it sucks.

Boeing is the Chrysler PT Cruiser of the sky and space. Nobody wants to get in one voluntarily anymore.

SpaceX has probably already hired every decent engineer Boeing has.

This is what happens when you let a company founded and run by engineers get taken over by accountants and consultants.

It's not a sure thing that it will work and it's not going to happen until February

Maybe if they'd outwork the competition instead of standing around with their up their arse jacking their jaw, they'd be successful.

Just a thought...

I'm sure those Boeing folks are doing their best.

But I bet this is what Elon things about it

I'm hoping at some point in their rescue, the astronauts have to cut holes in their gloves to use the escaping oxygen as a boost to fly around like ironman.

Well, NASA didn’t build the floating piece of junk that was unable to bring the NASA astronauts home, now did they Boeing?

Talk about losing the plot.

Boeng is basically a mafia organization. Maybe they need to be dissolved. It seems like the world would be a lot better off.

No, but they need to be split up.
