[@metricdeep8856]

I've worked in engineering companies when morale is low......It's pretty much game over. Everyone does their job...but only as they are told to do it...because there is no budget or time do it right the first time. Yet, everyone is working on a screw up that is behind schedule rather than progressing. People just shake their heads and collect paychecks. Great achievements don't come from such environments. They just bleed money....and eventually layoffs start.

[@Cpt_Adama]

Boeing mis-management for the last decade has led to their downfall and a huge waste of taxpayer money. Given the success of SpaceX, all the money spent on Boeing would have been much better spent with them. We already have two different systems with SpaceX given the Falcon/Crew-Dragon and Superheavy/Starship use independent systems, engines, launchers, etc. We don't need Boeing and no more money should be given to Boeing and their crap system. This whole debacle even revealed a problem with NASA's independent design philosophy where the space suits are not compatible. This is a major flaw that should have never happened as rescue from one ship to the other in a dire emergency where there is no time puts some astronauts in a possible situation of dying.

[@1986BBG]

Boeing and the rest need to be led specifically by engineers as was the case during Mercury,Gemini and Apollo missions. When engineers are running the process things get done right, when your trying to make money for shareholders and that takes the place over engineering then you fail

[@nicholasklangos9704]

So true, since merging with McDonnell Douglas, a culture of irresponsibility, laziness has permeated everything

[@nicholasklangos9704]

Exactly, when I read about the space suit incompatibility was telling and NASAs reasoning for allowing it illogical and irresponsible, especially since now they have NO SUITS AT ALL UP THERE AS THEY SENT THEM BACK IN THE CAPSULE TO MAKE MORE ROOM,!! Insanity

[@maskman1980]

Politics. Unqualified engineers. DEI, ESG which does not exist over at SpaceX

[@GrantOakes]

I understand why NASA went with 2 different companies rather than put all their eggs into 1 basket. Unfortunately, one of those baskets has nothing but ROTTEN eggs in it. Best to get their eggs from a proven supplier, SpaceX. They're better, cheaper and faster!

Boeing can always use the same excuse that the proponents of California High-Speed Rail use whenever another screwup occurs: Inadequate funding (no matter how high the budget soars).

[@joeyager8479]

Boeing's downfall began when it merged with the failing McDonald Douglas. Boeing's board then replaced it's own management team, mostly from the engineering side, with MD's management that got MD into the financial trouble that perciptated the merger. The new management then went on a cost cutting spree gutting their own manufacturing facilities in favor of outsourcing to cheaper contractors. As the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for!"

[@slotcarfan]

They built Apollo with a heat sheild that works....did they lose technical knowledge somewhere?

[@CrossCultural-c7f]

My opinion? When the business suits took over Boeing from the engineers, I believe Boeing fundamentally changed going from engineering excellence to making as much profit as possible mostly by being slow in meeting deadlines, having cost overruns so that Boeing can milk taxpayers of all money possible.

[@july8xx]

Boeing has been in decline since the first Harvard MBA bean counter took control of the company. Cost cutting became the top priority, as safety and reliability became diminished. Short term profit became the goal. Note as soon as the quick profits and bonuses declined the MBAs that caused the problem left the company and pounced on other sustainable profitable companies to immediately start the process of cheapening the product, destroying its reputation and then leaving with their bonuses to start the process over with another company. What Harvard is teaching now is how to rape and pillage a company for quick personal profit.

[@MichaelCarriger]

Boeing needs to withdraw from all space systems and focus on fixing their aircraft. We don't need 1960's approaches to today's space needs. All we have to do is look at the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and the Starship as well as all the other new start up companies that are flying right now. Older companies simply can not adjust to the flexibility and agility of management needs in to days space industry. Bill Nelson (NASA): Stop thinking like an old politician. Commercial space is not about job opportunities across as many states as possible; it's about saving tax payer money. Stop paying for single use vehicles when we have certified re-usable vehicles that cost a lot less more than capable to launch any government payload.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

But Bill Nelson IS an old politician. You are right about NASA's old school approach to the space program. However, NASA funding comes from Congress. You have to appease your local congressman to get him to agree to the funding. "If you want me to fund your Mars mission you have to build a Mars training facility in my district" That's the reality. That's why NASA facilities are largely split between Florida and Texas.

[@fionajack9160]

Great SpaceX saying that no F5 launch until early November, earliest. That’s crazy, FAA holding back progress

Follow the money (Boeing does). The threat of going to a fixed price contract as opposed to a cost-plus will see Boeing run away from NASA. Cost-plus means all of Boeing's fck ups and delays get rewarded with extra money, and Boeing loves that. Pin them to fixed price, and involvement in spaceflight could bankrupt Boeing.

[@bpl128]

Shuttle was not cheap ~ a billion/flight! And of roughly 100+ missions, 2 crashed catastrophically. Shuttle was built by Boeing too and I don’t think it’s possible to build new shuttles anymore.

[@TheEDFLegacy]

On the contrary, the shuttle was worn out, and had some major design flaws that made them quite unsafe. The fact that we lost two of them the way we did shows that they were dangerous. Dragon is a proven design that is modern and has had 14 crewed launches in 4 years. It's worth adding that the shuttle lacked any abort system, while the Dragon has one that's been tested and proven, which would have saved the crew of the Challenger if they had an abort system.

[@DaelinTV]

@@TheEDFLegacy wow 14 already! How time flies. The Space Shuttle could carry up to 27,500 kg to low Earth orbit and was used for crewed missions, satellite deployment, and space station assembly. SpaceX's Dragon, primarily a cargo and crew transport, has a much smaller capacity of 6,000 kg. Starship, with a planned 100,000 kg capacity, will vastly surpass both, aiming to become the new multi-purpose vehicle for deep space and orbital missions, much like the Shuttle but with far greater efficiency and reach.

Space X developed something that had never been done before and that is landing boosters vertically. NASA actually looked into this method when they were developing the Saturn five.
