Space and Science BS Thread

It’s the entropy that affects every corporation that’s ever existed. Once Elon is gone, they will be just another corporation, just like Apple after the loss of Jobs.

 

It's also about the culture loss. If you can build a strong company bottom up that's on board, it'll be resistant to failing when a key manager or leader dies. If everyone just works their ass off to save their job but there's no culture built, it'll fall like a house of cards.

 

Tomorrow, 1:00 pm EDT- me thinks it’s not going up any time soon..

No need to watch, I'll tell you what's going to happen. Starliner has been pushed back so we can get more reliable projects on the pad that need to go up. In other news were going to be giving Boeing 2 Billion dollars for unrelated projects, and no this has nothing to do with my new yacht. That was an unrelated gift from the CEO of Boeing.

 

Starliner is launching 8/19 at 0600.

 

Huh….

That's been 13+ hours ago. Lets see what they say at the press conference.

I've been wrong before and will be wrong again, just passing along what NASA and Boeing have communicated with my company.

 

I hope you’re right. Not good for the program if they can’t get their shit together.

 

Boeing can't get their shit together with anything they do.

Feeling it for the NASA astronauts assigned to this program.

 

Yup. I wonder how much say they had on which program they were assigned...

 

@PzTank do you have a link to the BO poster they put out bashing SpaceX? I can't seem to find it.

 

At what point is NASA just going to pull the plug and tell Boeing they suck and lost the contract?

 

They won't. Too much tax payer money down the drain, the have to see it through.

 

That group called Congress would never let that happen. Too many constituents to answer to (vs. all the tax payers)

Thanks!

 

I stand corrected. I got bad info.

 

No worries, I'm sure a lot of people are passing around a lot of dates for things to happen. At least the "factory" they're rolling back to is just one of the old OPF's, and not something across the country.

 

Unfortunately you’re not it.
