So about up to 13 years between conception and 1st flight while Starliner began in the early 2010s and first flew in 2019 with 1st crew flight in 2024. So roughly about the same time.

With a combined 44 years working in this industry as active duty military, private contractor, and civil servant; I agree with your statement 100%. I determined early on that the better run more effective organizations selected the best technical personnel with leadership/management abilities and motivation rather than career managers they hoped could learn the engineering part. I believe the whole culture of calling good engineers and scientists nerds and geeks, and lauding falsely they were socially challenged is a myth propounded by those secondary university students that were not academically capable of doing math and science and became marketing, advertising, majors and spent the rest of their somewhat useless lives (convincing others to buy things they don't want or need) making themselves feel better about themselves by berating those that they could never become. These are the ones running things now. What about those that wanted a four year party before having to grow up for which the marketing/advertising thing was a little too much work? They are really liking that student loan forgiveness thing.

You need look no further than the differences between how SpaceX is structured and how Boeing is structured. SpaceX, like Musk’s other companies, has a flat organisation where cooperation between teams and departments is encouraged and failures are seen as opportunities to improve. Boeing, by contrast, is a huge organisation where managers are more concerned about their own little fiefdoms and positions than anything else. Problems are always somebody else’s fault and should be covered up if possible, in case they can be traced back to an individual. It’s the only explanation I can think of for SpaceX’s ongoing success and Boeing’s abject failure. Both have government money but it’s clear that SpaceX spends it wisely while Boeing fritters it away then asks for more…

Never, in typical "capitalism gone wild" fashion, they're "too big/important/entrenched" to fail. I think there's a great solution that we're stepping over when we encounter these "too big to fail" things: Nationalization. That's right, if Boeing can't run Boeing right, it gets taken over by the government (and no, the CEO's/management who caused this problem wouldn't get their golden parachutes, in fact they'd likely be imprisoned and/or their accounts and assets that the US can exert control over would be frozen, for failure to complete government contracts (such as CST-100 Starliner) to satisfaction). Of course this won't happen because the corporations have sufficient control over the government to be largely immune to things like "consequences of their actions" and that's why living in the US sucks so much right now.

NASA has such an incredible history, why did they sub out construction to Boeing ? It certainly doesn't sound like it was cost effective. And especially given the current track record of Boeings most current passenger jets, maybe it's time to call Elon Musk & let him run with it.

Wait... using SpaceX for a launch vehicle? That's the opposite of what Boeing has been talking about. Boeing keeps saying we "need" an alternate/second source vehicle to launch astronauts. One that will be available if the SpaceX vehicle is unable to be utilised. "IF" SpaceX rockets are the problem - NONE of the capsules will be able to reach space. Boeing's main "claim to relevance" is an independent and separate launch system. This sounds like a mess. Far easier to just have Elon design a new/unique capsule that isn't the same as dragon. He has a record of success, I'd go with him.

05:30 ...engineers tightened bolts to fix the leak. Ha! Using bolts to stop a gas leaking that has molecules so small that they leak out *_between and through the MOLECULES_* of the plastic skin of party balloons. It's one reason balloons that use helium gas deflate so fast while just floating around no matter how completely or what method was used to seal off it's "neck". The helium easily leaks out through every part of the entire balloon envelope. The leaking thru the balloon's skin is especially fast in high-pressure balloons (like the stretchy kind that make your head explode when you try blowing them up using air from your lungs), and slower in low-pressure "foil" balloons. As I understand it, the helium storage system on the spacecraft is very high pressure.
