Congrats to NASA, ULA, and (yes, even) Boeing on a successful launch. Great to see it finally get off the ground.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yup. I wonder if Boeing might be selected to supply the crew capsule for whatever comes after the Artemis programme.

Oh, we're playing this game again?

What issue are they gonna find this time?

I think you wrote by muscle memory.

[–] robdor 1 points 10 months ago

The rocket ship has muscles? /s

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

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

Oh? And it didn't explode or fall? Cool 👍

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

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.
