Our tax dollars at work…
SpaceX has a much better record and uses much less of our tax dollars

Just allow Musk to do it. Boeing doesn’t have the flexibility and ability to innovate the way SpaceX does. I’m sure they’ll get there eventually by brute force, but Boeing will probably spend a LOT more to get there. And it’ll probably be in the form of our tax dollars.

Meanwhile Elon is literally building 1940s sci-fi rockets in Boca Chica that will soon orbit space and be able to lift the mass of an 1860 steam train into space.

They must have the same team that designed the Boeing 737Max.

Isn’t that “good enough for government work”
I’ll never forget when AlGore was running for Pres. He visited a factory and gave a speech when saying how proud he was that the status of quality was when something was “Good enough for government work”
Meaning he actually thought “good enough for government work” was a compliment.
That phrase means ‘any old crap you can toss in a box’. And whoever told him it was a ‘mark of quality’ was probably laughing their balls off when he said it.

“Well, it worked on paper” Probably should have tested that system together before rolling out to the pad. Paper is all good and fine, but that only gets you to a starting point. Real testing is where you actually get a system working.

Boeing is developing Starliner under a contract with NASA to fly the space agency’s astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, the other company that holds the “commercial crew” contract, has now flown three human spaceflight missions to the space station, but Boeing has struggled with its program and has lagged far behind So maybe the time has come to dump Boeing and devote more resources to Musk's solution that actually works?

How does SpaceX launch one rocket after another yet Boeing can’t get going?
To: BenLurkin
If it’s Boeing I’m not going.
To: BenLurkin
Bad software / firmware, or sabotage. The first one is an isolated event, the 2nd one is happenstance, but the 13th one is enemy action.

Boeing probably didn’t get the right number of process committees to approve the vales opening.
