Boeing will try to fly its troubled Starliner capsule back to Earth next week - eviltoast
The two astronauts who launched on Starliner will stay behind on the International Space Station.

Flying on autopilot, the Starliner spacecraft is scheduled to depart the station at approximately 6:04 pm EDT (22:04 UTC) on September 6. The capsule will fire its engines to drop out of orbit and target a parachute-assisted landing in New Mexico at 12:03 am EDT (04:03 UTC) on September 7, NASA said in a statement Thursday.

    Most of those weren’t anything to with Boeing.

    The Max was a stupid, stupid set of mistakes, really the line needs to be cancelled, and they need to tear the manufacturing management down to the studs.

    But Boeings used to be the safest plane, until they bought MD, which made some of the least safe planes this side of Tupolev (A plane so fast it can take you all the way to your grave in 5 minutes).

    Let’s fire all the shit managers from the merger and start again. Better yet hire one of the senior managers from Lockheed and have them go to town with a blowtorch.
