Sorry, did I miss something? Boeing took over the FAA?
JESUS GOD DAMNED CHRIST!!! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! Now THAT is news.
It has nothing to do with "trying to solve this problem" and pretending it does is just an obnoxious strawman. The issue is coming into a completely unrelated thread to spew some idiocy because your favorite influencer does the same. It is engagement farming for absolutely zero reason.
The ONLY mention of Boeing in that article was that they were being considered for a fallback. Which also includes misinformation about NASA deeming it unsafe (as opposed to not as safe/unnecessarily risky when there are safer options). Which.. is an FAA and NASA decision. Because you can bet spacex would gladly fly their rockets if they were allowed to as well.
Good to know you're on the same page as the rest of us regarding whatever it is you're comments have to do with anything.
So what? Should we ban people posting memes too? Should we ban the engagement system/up vote system? Like what's your point here? That people share ideas and thoughts? Wow, what news.
The astronauts in space are a big deal and the latest development had SpaceX rescuing them which is why that person brought it up. They weren't bringing up Boeing originally, they were bringing up the astronaut story since it all ties together. If SpaceX is grounded, how will they get those astronauts?
And then the next person points out that Boeing and most CEOs tend to feel like worker deaths are the cost of business. That's pretty apropos when talking about those astronauts getting stuck up there. Worker solidarity and all.
