And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've often wondered why they named it Starliner. My minds eye picture of a "Starliner" looks more like Musk's Starship. Starliner is just a larger modernized Apollo moon capsule and apparently not as well engineered or ground tested.
Anyone want to bet the two astronauts that rode up in that thing don't fly home in it? I wouldn't give a plugged nickle's chance of that thing making it through reentry. If that happens, Boeing is toast.
Certification flight? NO SOUP FOR YOU.
Starliner has been in "development" since 2006, EIGHTEEN YEARS.
We went to moon and the back, safely, in less than a decade, on machines designed using SLIDE RULES with nav computers that had about 1/1000th the power of a modern smart phone.
Boeing has lost the plot between this and its recent aircraft troubles.
Doing something that NASA can't
ReplyDeleteShort Boeing now!
ReplyDeleteI bet Boeing wishes Starliner could do that.
