#1 Sort of in the Signs and Portents region of management ~~malfeasance~~ failures.

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

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

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

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

#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.

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

#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.

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

#12 And I'm sure everyone is in a hurry to ride this...

#13 The boost by the Atlas was near perfect. It was the Starliner thruster onboard sequencing that STB.

Once again, bad code from Boeing.

#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.
