Astronauts who were supposed to take an 8-day ISS trip may be stranded until 2025 due to Boeing spaceship issues.
“A three hour tour.”
The value of Boeing stock was hovering around $260 per share during the Christmas season. It’s now trading around 160-170. (The most significant chunk of that drop occurred in the ten days after the blown door incident, which happened on January 5, but it has fallen another 15% or so since then.)
Gilligan’s Planet.
Avenue 5 (the 21st century Gilligan).
I haven’t watched that show.
I know it’s from some of the Veep people, and Hugh Laurie is usually great, so I’ve considered it.
Is it entertaining?
It had its moments, but wasn’t a must-see. Did it ever go beyond the first season?
Wiki says two seasons, 17 episodes
Does anybody think the astronauts deserve part of the blame for trusting Boeing?
Nope.
“I say ship it. Paint it and ship it.” – Boeing head of quality
Next week, on Tuesday, Poland will sign a contract for 96 AH-64 Apache. So this year isn’t all that bad for Boeing.
Although, given Boeing’s problems, it could turn out to be a bad year for Poland.
It’s hard to fuckup in a duopoly but Boeing pulled it off.
My argument is that the less competition a company has, the less they care, and the more likely they are to put out poor quality.
There was a television show from Washington State called Almost Live that was often very quite funny (Bill Nye got his start on Almost Live as did the guy who wrote the screenplay for Nebraska.)
I don’t know if anybody can find the sketch but Boeing’s problems are not new. This is a true story: About 30 years ago Boeing once put the wrong wing on a plane they were assembling. So, Almost Live did a sketch where the CEO was doing a press conference saying something like “This isn’t fair. Nobody ever gives us credit for all the times we put the right wings on a plane.”
Holy Crap, I remember Almost Live! Billy Quon!!
As stated on Facebook, the next step is for Boeing to send them cheesy movies, the worst they can find. They’ll have to sit and watch them all while Boeing monitors their minds.
Keep in mind, they can’t control where the movies begin or end, because they used those special parts to make their robot friends.
Boeing couldn’t afford the robot friend parts. They’re just alone up there going mad.
