  1. J Shepard There was nothing in this that a crew couldn’t fix.

  2. c182SkylaneRG You bet it did.

  3. 🤦‍♂️ Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the old saying, “garbage in, garbage out”.

  4. J Shepard Superficially maybe. But it’s a much more involved story than that.

  5. Dan W Listen to the angry programmer. I got the same “inexcusable” horseshit from my brother-in-law. His justification was the same - “I’m a software programmer and I know what I’m taking about”. You may be familiar with the old saying, “Garbage in, garbage out”. The only thing you missed was the media conspiracy. You may also be unaware that this fault would have been corrected by the crew, had there been one on board. I know programmers work in binaries but this notion that something is inexcusable because you say it is is presumption at its finest. The clamour for “me too, me too” recognition is just childish.

  6. Dan W No. I didn’t say that.

  7. Cheap shot.

  8. Jack Boot Apparently you didn’t hear what the crew said. There was nothing that happened in this mission that they could not have fixed.

  9. Jack Boot I don’t know. I’m not expert enough to make that decision. But Starliner’s crew has already said there was nothing about that mission they could not have fixed themselves. Nothing that happened on Starliner was anything like as potentially catastrophic as the stuck thruster on Gemini 8 or Apollo 12’s computer, which was scrambled when the rocket was hit by lightning 30 seconds after liftoff. Astronauts are not just meat packages. This is what they train for. Nothing could have been done about the explosion that destroyed SpaceX’s Crew Dragon last year. The crew would have been killed.

  10. Jack Boot Spacecraft are not supposed to explode. Not ever. Not under any circumstances. The fix they applied doesn’t actually solve the problem which destroyed the spacecraft and no: nobody would have survived that explosion. MMH and N2O4 are hypergolic and in close proximity there would be zero chance of survival. Nobody - not even SpaceX fluffers like Marcus House or Eric Berger - contest this. The Boeing problems were far from catastrophic. Somehow, everyone has seen this as worse than what happened to Crew Dragon. Both Boeing’s issues were 100% survivable. SpaceX was not.

  11. Jack Boot Really? What have I said that’s silly? No, you’re being silly. I don’t have a preference for one or the other but as is the standard with the internet these days, everything is polarised and you get to assume whatever you like about what someone else thinks. You should tell me more about that some time. That’s a really bad way to make your point. Binary logic... Jesus...

  12. This is an unguided vehicle.

  13. wandyrful That’s a nice line in victim speak.

  14. Pandicle Because Boeing’s spacecraft didn’t explode on the launchpad and didn’t require a redesign of the abort system.

  15. Daniel Carroll No business does everything in-house these days.

  16. Did you see it after reentry? It was a lot cleaner than Dragon.
