Therefore, Boeing's Starliner spacecraft will undock from the station early next month—the tentative date, according to a source, is September 6—and attempt to make an autonomous return to Earth and land in a desert in the southwestern United States.

The whole world will be watching that and if it fails, so will Boeing.

What a fucking mess Boeing's gotten itself into.

Not to worry. I’m sure the Boeing executives golden parachutes will save them.

Has anyone tested a Boeing parachute lately?

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Probably not even Boeing's space program.

Airbus can't just jump in and suddenly make all the planes to replace Boeing's civilian sector. Moreover they are irreplaceable in the defence sector. If Boeing really is to go down completly, it will take years of bad news.

Boeing has already failed... to what scale will be directly proportional to how big of a fireball this thing turns into.

We all know it's, at best, burning itself on reentry.

To say Boeing has gloriously fucked up is an understatement
