I literally expected more from American engineering. Has Boeing always been garbage or did this happen when the DEI retards took over? Cause I've been taught that Boeing was an engineering powerhouse.

Based on a Netflix documentary and articles before and after said documentary, I'm going with money. DEI was never mentioned. Boeing went hypercapitalist and put profit above all other considerations.

This isn't Left or Right, it is Wall Street vs the rest of us.

This happened when McDonald Douglas bought Boeing, adopted the Boeing name, fired Boeing managers.

Any idea of what the internal politics of McDonald Douglas was like before the Boeing buyout?

I don't trust Netflix, those fuckers are DEI all the way. But if Wall Street really is behind this there should be people hanging from lamp posts.

Is this like the imploding sub but in space or nah?

I'm kind of surprised this isn't a bigger story.

When the next near peer war hits we are going to suffer tremendously. If we don't start getting our house in order we can kiss our superpower status goodbye. Boeing is symptom of a larger problem.

That's been the major similarity in all of the articles I've read/news I've listened too.

Boeing went from from being a company run with an engineers mindset to one with MBA's mindset. Safety and quality only matter as long as it doesn't affect profits.

Maybe Chappell Roan's Hamas friends can get rockets in the air because California hates Elon's politics and will stand in the way of SpaceX launches from van den Berg. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/10/california-reject-musk-spacex-00183371

Launching and then catching that booster was nuts.

What?

Pretty insane engineering.

 

[ThunderHorse]

What?

Chappell Roan, lesbian singer who dresses in drag who STANs for Hamas? But California's coastal commission won't permit SpaceX because Elon has an opinion about who should be president. I know, I'm conflating things here, but the Coastal Commissioners shouldn't use their own politics to stop SpaceX rockets from launching. If this is going to be a problem going forward, we will never get off this rock.

I had no idea what you guys were talking about......but found the video and Wow, pretty incredible.

So things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other? Cool.

Agree, Elon exercising his 1st Amendment rights should not have been a criteria for denial.

Yeah. What does that have to do with Chappel Roan, or Hamas?

We've veered off a bit, and that's OK.

Regardless of what you may think of Elon personally, the guy is f'n brilliant. This is from an interview 3 yrs ago:
