‘Boeing to launch astronauts *towards* space aboard new capsule.’
FTFY
Probably another witness being launched into space
This has to be a joke, right? ….right?
Will all the astronauts be issued red shirts?
I wouldn’t trust Boeing to build a paper airplane and these muther fuckers are being allowed to build space ships?
hopefully they remember to tighten the screws
*in theory
In space, noone can hear the whistle.
All the obvious jokes aside, this is manufactured by a completely different division, so no, the doors won’t fall off.
Whistleblower Express
If I was a NASA astronaut and boeing decided they wanted to make a spacecraft, well I’d just have to retire I guess.
More like “launch whistleblowers into space”
Looking at the comments, I think a lot of people do not understand that Boeing doesn’t have much of a say in regards to launch readiness. NASA astronauts are on this spacecraft. NASA gets the final say and they are very risk averse when it comes to crew safety these days. This overpriced gum drop is ready to go. I’m looking forward to the launch.
Man… this capsule where launched only twice, and this is its track record:
– In 2019 had a software failure due a clock skew in space, ending in a mission abort. During tests, two critical bug where found on their software, one of these could have resulted in the destruction of the capsule.
– And in 2022 again had multiple failures, with several thrusters that went kaput and thermal regulation failure. Only landed safely due sheer miracle.
And they will put humans inside this thing?!
By comparison: how many missions and unmanned test launches (including destructive tests) Dragon 1 and 2 did before being redesigned into Crew Dragon to be rated for human transportation?
Thanks, that’s very kind but I’m fine – I’ll catch the next one.
If anyone here has an objection why this conglomerate and this space agency should not be joined speak now — and likely be murdered.
Nope.
They are loading all the “suspected whistle blowers” into it. Things might not go well.
“Was that the primary buffer panel? Did the primary buffer panel just come off my gorram ship?”
“New”.
The commercial crew program started in 2010. This launch was meant to be in 2017, but was repeatedly delayed due to a huge number of issues being discovered in the software, valves, thermal rating of the tape used to hold it together…
First space capsule with a porch!
Wcgw?
Hopefully they don’t know any sensitive information, maybe they will come back alive.

What happens when a door falls off in space!?
They got a good deal on the Apollo 1 capsule

In space, no one can hear you blow a whistle.
Challenger accepted.
Boeing? Godspeed astronauts.
Uh oh
Check the hatch
In space, no one can hear you whistleblow.
Oh boy, this should be good.
