“Clowns Supervised by Monkeys”

  • “Clowns Supervised by Monkeys” Boeing Puts Space Industry in Danger
  • Boeing's Spaceliner flirted with catastrophic failure due to a software bug in December. Is the company's putting the space industry at risk?
  • Boeing’s unmanned CST-100 Starliner space taxi narrowly avoided a “catastrophic failure” during a December test flight.
  • The problem was due to a software bug that led to erroneous thruster firings, according to NASA. - This comes at a time when Boeing is still reeling from two fatal crashes due to faulty MCAS software in the 737 MAX.
  • The bug calls Boeing’s software verification process into question. And it suggests that the toxic culture that produced the 737 MAX infects the entire company.

“Clowns supervised by monkeys.” That is how some of Boeing’s own employees described their colleagues in internal messages the company released as part of the investigation into the approval of the controversial 737 MAX.

SpaceX and its Crew Dragon spacecraft have been a bright spot in NASA's
Commercial Crew Program, which has now returned astronaut to US soil.
Boeing, the other Commercial Crew provider, still has some work to do before
it carries a NASA crew to the International Space Station.

On Wednesday, NASA announced a new target date of March 29, 2021,
to launch the second un-crewed test flight of Boeing's Deathstar.
The mission is called Orbital Flight Test-2, or OFT-2.

And they were "oversighted" by NASA civil servants with huge salaries and benefits. All grossly incompetent. I cannot believe the engineers in the 40's, 50's and 60's were better than the "diverse" crowd we have now. We should be much better now, right?
