Engineers are replacing a valve on the rocket that will power the first crewed test flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. The launch is now expected no sooner than May 17.
For real though I’m not at all confident in Boeing’s engineering safety competence and rigor at this point. They have burned pretty much every single shred of goodwill and perceived competence they had built up over the course of the last 108 years.
The fucking beancounters ran it into the ground, and all they give a shit about is their golden parachutes and covering their asses from any possible legal liability.
I hope they can recover at some point. But if those idiotic finance types keep running the show, it’s gonna be on a downward spiral for a good long while.
