I think you wrote by muscle memory.

The rocket ship has muscles? /s

It's a Boeing. At this point, why would anyone not expect issues with anything made by Boeing?

Because the rocket launched 20 minutes before ~~they~~ you posted ~~their~~ your original comment.

Oh? And it didn't explode or fall? Cool πŸ‘

There's plenty of opportunities for it to fuck up anyways, let's just hope it doesn't knock the ISS out of orbit...

There's almost a zero chance that happens.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Again, it's Boeing. If there's a way to fuck it up, they will.

Usually, I like to shit on Boeing as much as the next guy.

But at this point, no. I'd rather Boeing not fuck things up, because there would be lives in danger.

Let's just fucking celebrate that a little bit of advancement towards humanity's exploration of space has been achieved, yes?

Let's shit on Boeing when the next rocket launch is delayed again.

I don't want them to fuck up either, hope the mission goes perfectly actually.

I think you're being a tad unreasonable. Ever the cynic myself, sometimes things just go according to plan.
