    Only a matter of time for another Challenger incident to set space exploration back another 20 years.

    I think most in society get that human space exploration is extremely risky, but to flirt with that risk with a known variable tipping the scales the wrong way seems like a business decision rather than an engineering one.

      Imagine those morons end up destroying the ISS. Boeing has really gone down the shitter. I don’t even know why they launched this scrap heap in the first place. Shortcuts like this are completely unacceptable in regards to space travel.
