      I’m sure they would’ve packed a hammer to deal with the valve but NASA didn’t want to pony up the extra 17 mil.

    2. See, no big deal. Everything gets sticky when whistle-blower blood gets spilled on it.

    3. will probably turn into the most expensive 4th July fireworks in history ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)

      Probably should have left out some of the bolts holding the valve together. You know, like they do on their fast opening doors….

    6. I called this months ago. Even the best engineers run into issues like loose panels on spacecrafts. Trusting boeing to make an aircraft was a huge mistake risk by these astronauts.

      I died of laughter when I saw some dudes comment; “In space nobody can hear you whistle blow” ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
