๐Ÿ˜• #NASA needs to scrub this launch on May 17th.

#UnitedLaunchAlliance is bullish about this launch, as they are probably under pressure from #Boeing & #LockheedMartin to prove their worth.

Greed is going to get these astronauts killed!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ NASA Contractor Warns That Boeing Launch Must Be Stopped "Before Something Catastrophic Happens" https://www.yahoo.com/tech/nasa-contractor-warns-boeing-launch-165626075.html

I have moments of reservation when I get on a Boeing plane at this point. I can't imagine trusting my life with them getting me into space. Then again I think people are way too optimistic about the reliability of all manned spacecraft systems we've ever built, yes including the SpaceX capsule. Invariably we get into a sense of complacency until someone dies or nearly dies.

@Hank G โ˜‘๏ธ @Darnell Clayton :verified: I travel Ryanair a lot. They are a Boeing shop. The one thing that gives me solace is that they have their own engineers to over these things with a fine tooth comb after delivery. Theyโ€™ve never had a fatal accident, despite running thousands of flight a day, every day.

But thatโ€™s despite Boeing, not because of Boeing.
