Hmm…Boeing is not good enough for two NASA astronauts but it’s fine for the rest of us.

@davidho While this was an older Boeing aircraft, if the accident is equipment failure, it's probably down to the tire manufacturer (Goodrich Aero I think).

The broader Boeing story is that 757s were supposed to be retired by now and replaced with 737 Maxes, but aren't.
