Imagine going up in a space capsule built by Boeing! Will the door just pop out?

[Red Badger]

What about the toilet?....................🙄

I’d more concerned about NASA.

With SpaceX and Elon Musk running rings around NASA, having sent astronauts into space multiple times safely, you wonder if NASA and Boeing who are probably under extreme pressure to catch up, have cut corners and rushed the system, I hope not but you never know.

[desertsolitaire]

They better hope it doesn't pop off after they are up above breathable air level. They'd be making faces like Ronny Cox in Total Recall, after he flew out a broken window into the Martian atmosphere without a space helmet.

See post 7 please

Launching on a candle by the lowest bidder is one thing, but also by a diversity hiring MBA company?? NO thanks!

[volare737]

I agree.

NASA has been infected with the Diversity Virus as much, if not more, than the corporate world!

There’s a whole line of people at the launch pad blowing whistles.

Well, I’ve been out of it since 2011 but it certainly looks like a massive ‘dei’ effort with not many results being seen. Technically or socially.

[sasquatch]

‘Anybody got a match?’

[V_TWIN]

Appreciate it.

Strange that NASA spoliated all the designs and data from the Apollo missions. Perhaps we’d be back to the moon in the last 50 years…

Merger with McDonald Douglas destroyed Boeing.
I left because I could see what was happening.
Bean counters destroyed the Douglas airplane
company and now they have destroyed Boeing.
Boeing technician and engineer over 20 years.
I had nothing to do with the 787!
I left in 2000.

They might end up on the Moon instead of the ISS

Being a long time ‘space nut’, I really do hope this thing goes off without a hitch. With what’s been happening with Boeing recently, it just makes things that much more stomach-turning. than they normally would be.

Spaceflight Now reports that weather is 95% GO for tonight’s launch.

And, for those interested, SpaceX is doing a Starlink launch at 2:14pm this afternoon.
