This is just getting worser and worser. Boeing needs to get its shit in place or stop doing moon shots. Imagine if this happens on mars, #BringbackBoeing


too big to fail for airlines/ space companies. It is crazy how this has played out and its just like not even considered in the larger picture of their airplanes falling out of the sky.


This farce felt like it had very generous damage control around it in the press. Hard to view that in a vacuum when you consider the press' dislike of SpaceX because it shares a owner with Twitter and the removal of the Bluecheck privileges.


IMO they're not to big to fail. The gov't could force a breakup into military vs civilian vs space. Yes, this would be a huge win for Airbus and the like but the buck needs to stop somewhere.


I'm getting rather disillusioned with that phrase. The one immutable constant of being "too big to fail" is that it guarantees failure.


"To big to fail" is declared after a failure that should have been company-ending.


You'd hopefully have several launch vehicles ready to return to Earth on Mars at different geographical locations.


Imagine if this happens on mars.....

You know, like half of star trek is looking for lost crew and ships that have gone astray. People shipping off to mars and beyond are going to have to solve their own problems or just die.
