Surprised Pikachu face...

IS-33e was the second satellite to be launched as part of Boeing's "next generation" EpicNG platform. The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak.

I see a pattern.

Hmm, sounds like Boeing needs to fire more engineers.

And increase C-level compensation, of course.

And do some more stock buybacks and raise dividends, of course.
