Some day they just might get this thing launched.

I don’t get these comments. Are we suddenly against caution and taking our time to get things right? I get that Boeing have been shitting all over that idea recently, but shouldn’t we give credit where credit is due?

I don't think anyone's against the idea of it getting delayed, rather they're making fun of the fact that Boeing has a pretty bad history with safety (and the whole "multiple whistleblowers dying" part) and every time they are about to launch some other critical problem shows up.

Personally I'd love to see Boeing have a safe, successful launch but as things are right now it looks increasingly like NASA's contract with them won't show expected results. I'm not going to pretend to be a safety expert so I obviously trust the people doing launch inspections over my own judgement, but I'm not exaggerating when I trust Boeing's rocket to be safe about as much as I would trust the next OceanGate submarine.
