One of my friends during college was a Boeing employee getting his PhD in engineering (I was getting Master's). He said that after he finished PhD he was planning on leaving. I asked why, especially since he had really good pay (he was getting paid $120k a year to get his PhD full-time). He said "I can't say much, but there are a lot of issues at that company that I don't want to get dragged into". This was in 2010.

The loss of Columbia actually was EERILY similar to this incident. Columbia was at the ISS. They noticed an issue that might present a problem on re-entry.

@@jasonowens7829 To be fair to NASA though, its hard to trust Boeing with the lives of two crew members when in the first place all of these problems should have been tested and addressed during the construction process. Even if the known faults have been addressed, the fact that there had been unknown faults makes one wonder whether there are other unknown faults. Additionally, I imagine that the astronauts have limited ability to confirm that the helium leaks and thruster issues did not create unknown faults along the way. All in all, while perhaps in reality re-entry would be fine, it would be the height of irresponsibility on NASA’s part if they gave the go ahead without being reasonably sure of it. And even if they were in fact reasonably sure of it, the optics would have been terrible for NASA. NASA has little to gain from giving the go-ahead, and would instead gain the reputation for being prudent by rejecting. Perhaps the downside would be angering Boeing, but I doubt NASA is particularly concerned with that, especially when Boeing is now known as a partner that goes over-budget, over-schedule, and has a reputation for questionable competency.

Golden parachutes, CEO pay, lucrative stock options, the toxic environment around how promotions are handled…that’s what drives companies to become entirely driven by the short term. An MBA will know that long term business decisions yield long term positive results….but there’s huge disincentive as a culture to think long term. Especially for publicly traded companies. Plenty of engineers running Boeing too - they are part of that same culture.

This is a major problem long before Starliner, doors falling off planes, engines falling off planes and taking out wings... most problematic aircraft brand is Boeing. They are a monopoly! they purchased their suppliers of parts, shut those down, went shopping for more suppliers made cut throat deals to unprofitable amounts on their new suppliers, ran them into debt, bought them, closed those suppliers down... Their quality has diminished, they made it so that their suppliers cannot be innovative and expand to become aircraft manufacturers themselves. Once upon a time they did know how to make space worthy equipment, they helped get American boots on the moon and they wanted that again but tried to get their through the same methods they use to build aircraft. Nobody knows how to build a decent aircraft anymore at boeing, and if they do they either aren't showing it or their hands are tied by money grabbing people at the top!

I actually think the opposite is true. The fact they’re prioritising the safety of three astronauts, at astronomical cost to NASA & American tax payers, over risking them dying on return in the Boeing craft, is a great image to protect. Also the fact they’re transparent about what’s happening
@PCLoadLetter18 күн бұрын
SpaceX could retrieve them much sooner. But NASA wants to keep the Dragon spacecraft at the ISS rather than let it do a quick round trip to Earth to drop them off. It's not rocket science. No, wait, it is, but it's just them trying to save a few million bucks.

Anyone could see that they probably shouldn't have launched a crew on this mission. The insane amount of delays and budget extentions, it should have been fully tested empty in actual space. This isn't the 1960s there is no reason to risk astronauts on experimental aircraft. Now SpaceX has to figure out a solution to a problem they never planned to deal with, on a much shorter time table and budget. Luckily they are well positioned to do so. But imagine this catastrophe in like 1970. They would be coming back on a Russian shuttle if we got them back at all.

I worked at Lockheed. They had a lot of great engineers and manufacturers. The difference between Lockheed, Boeing, et al and SpaceX is the former are government funded, thus building only what the government has the idea to build. Further, they are burdened with requirements to "properly hire" (i.e. job quotas) and set-asides for "small businesses". SpaceX and other startups approach the requirements with a fresh perspective. They are not burdened with "intellectual momentum" that says "but we've always done it THIS way". So they can innovate. They can design reusability into the system. They can give stock options to the lowly workers instead of just the lofty managers. They don't have to hire anyone who isn't pulling his weight just to satisfy government-funded mandates. All that said, Lockheed has its Skunkworks and Boeing has its Phantomworks. Those are the guys who should be building their spaceships.

The astronauts are not "stranded." They are both veterans of multiple missions and have spent over a year in space. "Imagine what they must be feeling?" I'm sure they're feeling just fine. They are seasoned pro's who know that space travel isn't like driving to your downtown office to go to work. And it means they get to spend much more time doing what they love most; spending time in space aboard the ISS. And you can be 100% sure they time the spend will be productive. I really detest it when people try to make some kind of drama out of something like this, as if these people were involved in some kind of catastrophe. They weren't. In fact, the reason they have to wait for another rocket to be prepared and bring them back - a routine mission - is to avoid potential catastrophe. Which is why the Boeing Starliner will be brought back to Earth unmanned. This sort of thing is absolutely normal in space flight and exploration. Think about how many SpaceX rockets crashed or blew up on their way to getting it right. Was SpaceX "embarrassed"? No, because they had no reason to be. It's how you learn all the little things you need to do to get right when it is absolutely critical that you do. And BTW, going into space will always be risky. The best one can do is minimize it as much as possible.
