NASA’s Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test Launch – June 5, 2024 (Official NASA Broadcast) - Lemmy.World

I’ll believe it when I see it!
It launched 15 minutes before this comment 👆

Oh, we’re playing this game again?

What issue are they gonna find this time?

I think you wrote by muscle memory.
The rocket ship has muscles? /s
It’s a Boeing. At this point, why would anyone not expect issues with anything made by Boeing?
Because the rocket launched 20 minutes before they posted their comment.

Oh? And it didn’t explode or fall? Cool 👍

There’s plenty of opportunities for it to fuck up anyways, let’s just hope it doesn’t knock the ISS out of orbit…

There’s almost a zero chance that happens.
Again, it’s Boeing. If there’s a way to fuck it up, they will.

Usually, I like to shit on Boeing as much as the next guy.

But at this point, no. I’d rather Boeing not fuck things up, because there are lives in danger.

Let’s just fucking celebrate that a little bit of advancement towards humanity’s exploration of space has been achieved, yes?

Let’s hit on Boeing when the next rocket launch is delayed again.

I don’t want them to fuck up either, hope the mission goes perfectly actually.
I think you’re being a tad reasonable. Ever the cynic myself, sometimes things just go according to plan.
Congrats to NASA, ULA, and (yes, even) Boeing on a successful launch. Great to see it finally get off the ground.
Yup. I wonder if Boeing might be selected to supply the crew capsule for whatever comes after the Artemis programme.
