Damn, people are so negative, cynical, and dramatic. So many talking about Boeing like it’s some low budget brand making worthless products. Every one of you have flown on a Boeing aircraft, trusted your lives to it, and didn’t question the plane’s safety as you effortlessly crossed the earth to go get drunk somewhere other than your living room for a change. Talking about this mission as if it was some massive failure. The pilots are alive and well. Yes, they will need to get a ride back out of abundance of caution, not failure. Space flight is difficult. We’ve lost crafts to 50 cent O-rings. Every flight is dangerous, but this one was a success in many ways. You all talk like it exploded and the execs covered it up. You armchair quarterbacks couldn’t make a paper plane that flys but badmouth a billion dollar corp that’s accomplished more than most ever will. Accidents happen, but air travel is very safe in no small part because the contributions of Boeing.
