| [SpaceDaily] Cape Canaveral - "We do have an off-nominal orbit insertion," says Steve Siceloff, a Boeing spokesperson at mission control has reported on NASA TV from in Houston. "We have spacecraft control. Guidance and control teams are assessing their next maneuvers. Spacecraft batteries are good, and the spacecraft is in a stable orbit." Boeing had launched its Starliner capsule successfully on Friday onboard a ULA Atlas 5 for a crewless eight-day journey to the International Space Station and back as a dry run for NASA's plans to end US dependence on Russia for space rides |

| #14 As I said in the other thread. They are an engineering company or a company that wants to be where Bath House runs. It really can't be both. |

| #13 The boost by the Atlas was near perfect. It was the Starliner thruster onboard sequencing that STB. Once again, bad code from Boeing. |

| #11 The "insertion burns" were handled by the clock on the "payload" #2, so it wasn't the "Atlas rocket" that failed. K? |

| #9 Or they could do a software retro-fit. Like with the 737 MAX. Oh wait |

| #8 Of course, Boeing is still trying to wring money out of F-15(X) so their corporate culture sort of makes a tell there. |

| #7 Much as some people hate it, SLS and Vulcan will make or break Boeing and ULA. |

| #6 BTW a side point. Boeing designed the capsule to be able to be launched on an Atlas, Vulcan or F9. So if they need to do a bunch of cheap testing they could use end of life F9 boosters. |

| #5 Ah, but how is their diversity program? That's the important bit. |

| #4 The notion that corporate culture at the head office has no effect on product is peculiar. |

| #3 ...their 'new' commercial airlines certainly is crashing the market, so to speak. |

| #2 So the Atlas rocket failed and the payload is at fault because Boeing moved some offices to Chicago? OK, I get it. |
