Richard C. Hoagland is sweating bullets now.

On his own weekend show Hoagie hopes the Chinese will release photos from their moon lander that will prove his ideas of a moon dome and other anomolies.

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — Both NASA and Boeing announced a new return date for the maiden crewed Starliner mission during a teleconference on Tuesday afternoon.

NASA's spacesuits are aging, and two separate spacesuit-related incidents over the past couple of weeks highlight just how bad the problem has gotten. Here's a rundown of what's going on with NASA's spacesuit (called EMUs), why the situation is so bad, and what is being done about it.

Are the best people on the job? I think not.

Boeing couldn't put a door plug on correctly. If they can't get their shit together putting a panel in to plug up a door hole, how can you expect them to plug up a helium hole in outer fucking space? Boeing has overextended itself, its CEO is an asshole who was very, very obfuscating when facing Congress and he is making a lot of money and not demanding quality of his workers.

I think the only thing keeping them alive is that the current party in power loves the liberal power structure and DEI elements of Boeing.

Something in there is a knocking and wants out...bad.

I'm late to this whole lost in space scenario so forgive me. Is this incident the result of a joint Boing/NASA DEI? I did see one opinion piece that suggests as much.

D!E!I! Yes?

More and more I'm hearing about DEI in the cockpit in the planes we fly in, so has this madness gone galactic? Soon to be interplanetary?! 

I am reminded of that incredible movie, Marooned - from before many of us were born.,

Don't know what the root of the issues are with the Boeing spacecraft.  Haven't followed it.  Boening definitely has a competency crisis.  Door plugs not being bolted into airframes,  the Boeing K-46 tanker for the Air Force is so bad, it is not allowed to leave the continental U.S.  The there is that whole 737-MAX nightmare.  The FAA should never have approved that design.

Also seems to competency issues between pilots and air traffic controllers.  There have been numerous near misses with take offs/landings/taxing lately.  Just a matter of time before a tragedy occurs if they don't fix those issues.
