Imagine how embarrassing it would have been if some of these executives who've been so aggressive about the importance of maintaining a good public image had their spouses or children die in a totally preventable inferno, or suffocate to death. Or have a long uncontrolled descent back to hit the ocean, dying on impact, knowing the whole way down what was about to happen. Like the Challenger crew. Or, if one of these Boeing executives had had their child on one of the 737MAXes that flew itself inexorably towards the ground and no survivors because of a minor sensor failure.

Super embarrassing, it would have been. Fuck em, the lot. Hope they have trouble with their careers.

Don't know why it's being downvoted, it's really fucking valid. These people almost died in a horrific way just getting up there, and ground control absolutely knew it somewhere between boost and docking. Absolutely insane.

Not embarrassed enough. When the company is ripped apart and the McDonnell Douglas DNA is buried under concrete, it'll be a good start.

Boeing is a fucking joke but let's be real this corpo culture is the standard in the US across industries. In less critical markets, this behavior is considered good business practice. How how you jucie the profits now.

Hopefully this is a catalyst for further NASA contracts resulting in specifications for spacesuit compatibility. Huge oversight.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 needs to hook up with these astronauts. Do their season 14 campaign with them. They are already trapped in space. Might as well be experimented on by being forced to watch cheesy movies. I mean, they need something to do while up there....

Nationalize it

Musk just happy a British diver didn't get there first.

I'm more interested in these company sharing the load together into space faithfully than any slap-fight that sells e-ink.
