That doesn’t look good for Boeing …
What if they do launch, and something happens … Boeing stock will be shredded to pieces.

How much larger is this risk than for other spacecraft?

How much larger risk over straight assassination?

Considering they’re putting out deathtrap aircraft now, I would **not** trust their spacecraft either.

I’m putting my money on ValveTech & their CEO Erin Faville. They supply the valves and other materials.
When I worked out there one of the first projects was a cabin pressure leak. 1,000 people checking windows, doors, latches .. everything to find why air was leaking out the cabin.
It was a bulkhead connector between the cabin and the payload bay. There was an Oring seal inside that connection that had gone dry, cracked and doesn’t seal. We worked with Amphenol, Parker Seals, and many others.
If Erin is saying something is fucky .. something fuckey. Too bad she’s gonna suicide herself with 2 shots to the back of the head

> According to media reports, a buzzing sound indicating the leaking valve was noticed by someone walking by the Starliner minutes before launch.
THAT is how they found the issue?? Doesn’t sound promising at all

It’s just bizarre to me to have done so many military style FOD walks and tool accountability procedures (in regards to aviation) to then have that jebroni of a CEO that just threw out years worth of accountability in aviation construction and maintenance and THEN top military brass awards them contracts.
Shit just doesn’t make sense, there in a big club, that we are not in…and they’ll kill people to increase their bottom line, I’m not talking about the mysterious deaths, I mean their customers that fly the planes lol….

This article is complete bullshit. The faulty valve was part of the centaur upper stage, manufactured by ULA. Valve issues happen all the time when dealing with cryogenic propellants.
It had nothing to do with Starliner or Boeing.

Rival CEO of of a rival contractor complaining about a rival seems like I giant conflict of interest.

Why is NASA listening to the comments of some obscure dead contractor?
MixLogicalPoop on
there is precedent for the US government unilaterally seizing a company and nationalizing it
Pretty sure the last time someone said they shouldn’t launch a spacecraft and went ahead with it anyways, it blew up and killed everyone on board.

the valve issue is in the rocket, and the contractor says the rocket should be inspected. This is nothing about the boeing craft.

I think Boeing should be a military contractor… less risk and they get to continue doing what they are doing and don’t have to worry about bad press 🧐

Man. That would be an absolute nightmare. Probably half or more commercial airliners suddenly being grounded? Wow, suddenly it’s $3000 each way to fly between Detroit and Cleveland and you have to book minimum of 6 months ahead of time. And the ripple effect would surely throw us into a recession or worse. Hope this is hyperbole.
EDIT: I obviously missed the point. Please disregard.

I work for a competitor in the same industry.
We _have_ a system in place for this – where even a lower level engineer can utilize pathways to scrub a launch if they deem there to be a risk to the spacecraft. A well-plugged in contractor should be able to do the same.
I’d be very surprised if Boeing doesn’t have that… then again, not all that surprised.

I bet there’s a correlation between how many astronauts die on lift-off to how much BA stock price goes up; each dead whistle-blower looks like 3 dollars a pop… Reminds me of that other really heinous DD that was here back in the day
Seriously though, jokes aside, the fact that BA is up 6 dollars in the last month with everything going on is curiouser and curiouser… Jk, we all know what’s propping them up (wonder if they’re doing the hits too)
