Amazing how far Boeing have fallen, when a company run by apartheid Clyde has to rescue you

The boeing offering costs $2 billion each launch, is years over time and billions over budget, and when you compare it to spacex, well, yea. This is like getting your ass whooped, and then being draped over a chair and having your gauge increased without lubricant.

Article reveals a lot about the mentality of Boeing employees. Obsessing over spacex, while I doubt spacex employees give Boeing a seconds thought.

> Spacex
> Upstart
They’ve been leading the pack for YEARS. I know this is Reddit and rocket man bad but Musk has been slinging satellites up like it’s nobody’s business for a long while

Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners. The loser here is Boeing.

Than maybe stop spending so much on stock buybacks and actually invest in your own company by upgrading your build quality and design standards. It’s not SpaceX’s fault that your product is not meeting standards.
I seriously think there should be a public congressional inquiry into if Boeing is actually doing their job since we spend so much taxpayer dollars through subsidies on a company that is having this much trouble

What’s shameful here is Boeing continues to disappoint and yet they continue to exist without repercussions. I understand they are the sole American manufacturer of passenger jets but, there has to come a point where they either improve management and product reliability or, a successor takes over. But, with how they’re integrated into the USA government as a contractor, I don’t see them going anywhere.

Not the worst thing that can happen to a BA employee.

If Boeing gave me a whistle I wouldn’t blow it.

You don’t mess with the old guard. I suspect some corporate espionage against SpaceX.

Hmmm, maybe if they focused more on hiring qualified engineers rather than cheap diversity hires, this wouldn’t have happened, and they wouldn’t be embarrassed….

Yes no dei at boeing for sure. Leftwing Reddit at its finest. Loves racism If its against the “right” people
Boeing fought hard to keep Union wages out of their manufacturing facilities. It turns out you need actual professionals to build rocket science stuff.

Oh is this what did it? Not the door flying off their plane?

Boeing did everything it could to stop SpaceX from starting in the first place.
There’s alot of backstory that gives this a great story arch

Best case scenario for Boeing is that Space-X too cannot bring the astronauts home.

Maybe spend less time on stock buy backs/board profits and actually put some effort into innovation

Correction: Boeing “executives” humiliated.
