That is called individual discipline by a single individual, failing to check and double check his work, like ANY professional would do. That is what A&P's. perform any time they maintain an aircraft. NO BUREAUCRACY involved , just an entry into the logbook.

The Atlas centaur is retired. Restart production? At what cost? Not reusable, means a huge cost increase compared to Falcon 9.

Given Boeing's track record, no amount of money would be enough to get me on board that thing.

There's a special viewing area for whistleblowers, under the rocket.

Boeing, with their reputation for quality and safely.

If I was an astronaut, I would pass on the ride.

Boeing built some of the greatest aircraft ever--like the B52, which has been flying combat missions over 75 years and no plans to retire them. But in recent years they seem to be slipping in the QC area. Perhaps they should step back from the space craft--leave that to the experts like Musk and perhaps work on cleaning up their aircraft functions.

Boeing and Nasa's affirmative action/DEI hiring programs are sure to bring the safety, quality and skill needed for success. LOL

See how closely our govt is working with Boeing? So it doesn't take much imagination to think the worst when you consider that two Boeing whistle-blowers have suddenly died recently. We can't be having anybody rock the boat, now can we??

I just hope the most diverse group of engineers possible didn’t design this thing.

When Boeing left Seattle they no longer designed planes that could fly. Why anyone thinks they can fly to space is beyond belief.

Starliner is for missions to the Moon and Mars by NASA for astronauts. Starship is for hauling cargo only!😊

They ran out of duct tape half way through. I bet it doesn't get to orbit before a wheel falls off. It shouldn't even have wheels.

If it’s a Boeing, I ain’t going.

Eh. There's some wrong takes there. The only "throwaway" part is Atlas, and Atlas is retiring, while Starliner is designed also designed to be compatible with not just Vulcan-Centaur but Falcon-9. The former had a successful launch first try, by the way, so there's certainly a lot of room to bring costs down through re-usability. And frankly, given the management of both SpaceX and Boeing, it's good that there's a third option out there.

Putting lives at risk to justify spending billions 😢

Also soon the Sierra Space Cargo Dream Chaser will launch on its first flight to the ISS !

I really don't see the why they continue to pour money into a spacecraft that, at best, will have a 5-year lifespan when/if certified. Are they continuing with the program because they've put so much money into it that they can't cancel it? At this point, Starliner has become as big a boondoggle as Artemis.

Boeing is desperate for a big PR win. Too many delays, failures and cost over-runs. Kick the tires and light the fires...on the Apollo capsule remake- and a rocket made from Space shuttle surplus parts.

We desperately need either a backup vehicle, OR a NASA exception for grounding F9 in case of an accident.

Kind of a weird Apollo type capsule with mods. Exactly, what capabilities does Starliner offer? Just more roomier than Dragon? Dragon seems more efficient in design, I don't see modular add-ons that we see on Starliner.
