Musk to Rescue Astronauts

[Sherlock Holmes]

Ooh look, the very same kind of problem (helium leak) that delayed the star liner launch in June:

Polaris Dawn launch delayed another 24 hours after SpaceX detects helium leak

It's getting worse:



Looks like the rescuers might need rescuing if they're not careful.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

I wonder how comfortable the Polaris crew are today...

Boeing is desperate so they are ordering their servants in the faa to make life hard on Space X.

Far better to risk the lives of astronauts then have a successful company bale you out.

Just imagine, bunghole, Space X averages a launch every 3 days or so. Boeing OTOH, can't accomplish ONE successful launch in three years.

Let the conspiracy fantasies begin !!

it was of the booster during landing, well after the payload had been delivered. It isn't involved in the descent of the crewed capsule.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

They do say that landing is the tricky part - would you trust Musk?

Right but clearly a very serious failure, what else might be lurking out there...

First time in how many launches?

And it's unmanned at that point in any scenario.

Again, first time in how many launches?

Oh, it's no fantasy. Both Boeing and blue origin have been engaged in lawfare with Space X.

When you are grossly incompetent get the government to drag down your competition is as old as government.

You should know that, bunghole.

Ahhh, look at the fraud using old development footage for his feeble arguments.

Too funny.

You're not a very deep thinker, are you, bunghole!

Personally I need to see the entire dispute and legal details before reaching a conclusion, doing so based on emotions is not how I work.

Prove that the footage existed before yesterday please, what makes you think it's old?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Here westwall you clown:

There's loads of development video of the boosters failing to land, moron.

Ahhhhh, you finally found the correct one.

Notice the change in video quality?

DURRRRRR

You're a lazy SOB aren't you.

Simple basic research is beyond you.

Haven't counted, here's another for you from a few weeks ago:

Not the reliance on a "software fix" it's downhill from here...

And after the investigation the rocket was cleared for launches again.

And notice in your own quote, 300 successful missions.

So counting the two I just found (and how many failures have there been in total) that's 2/300 = 1/150 = 0.6%, I wouldn't get on that heap of junk myself.

Here's someone who understand the difference between success and probability:
