Boeing adopted the McDonnell Douglas business model and immediately began to fail. Boeing has become an embarrassment to American ingenuity and quality.
Everything started to go wrong when everybody and his brother started adopting Jack Welch's approach to business-which was MD's playbook. There's a great critique of the damage Welch wrought in a book called: "The Man Who Broke Capitalism; How Jack Welch Gutted the Heartland and Crushed the Soul of Corporate America--And How to Undo His Legacy" by David Gelles.
After the fire the Apollo command module had a major redesign which I believe a democrat (?) Congress approved. I'll bet that Trump is going to make SpaceX the go to and Boeings SLS will be part of something for work Visa students to keep them busy until the green care arrives.
Good thing 33,000 Boeing employees have bargained for an accumulated 36% raise over the next 4 years plus a 12,000$ one time bonus… Guess the lay offs will start shortly.
If Boeing had focused on paying their employees higher wages and retaining talent and safety precautions rather than lining shareholder profits, maybe they wouldn’t be in their current predicament.
Depends on what strings come attached. The division itself is just fine.. the problem is that their contracts require them to 'partner' with many other companies and use the parts they are told to use. they have very little control over what actually goes into their capsule... remove those requirements and you would likely have a pretty effective division.

I expected them to cancel the starliner project 6 months after they announced it, by 18 months I was surprised they hadn't already. I don't even remember how long ago that was, since then it's just been morbid curiosity. I don't particularly ever remember any good press regarding it's design.

I think there was a bump into the bottom of the capsule during separation compressing some portions of the ablative Shield causing it to have greater thermal conductivity and thus burn through faster in those areas
The booster landing anomaly might’ve been because this was the launch leader? This booster has been launched more than anything else and maybe 23 launches is the limit? In the fourth parachute issue is happened before . It only highlights the fact that SpaceX wanted to use three parachutes and NASA force them to use four. SpaceX was right and NASA was wrong. The ship only requires three parachutes and the fourth one can’t grab enough air to stay inflated.

Re: Blue Origin's facility being "only a few kilometers" from LC36, actually in straight-line distance it's ~15km and by the nearest hard-surfaced roads it is ~19km
It's seems really weird to me that the only US commercial company to ever try to put a Lander on the moon just said they are on track launch by the end of the year gets so little coverage. Firefly may have had a bumpy start but after ditching Aerojet Rocketdyne and the AR1 they have had 5 Successful Launches with they're Low-Payload single use Alpha Rocket that is Powered by 4 of they're Reaver Engines and 20 more flights contracted. 4x Reaver 1 specs: LOX/RP-1 Turbopump Tap-off Cycle with a combined 801kn of Thrust (VAC), 295.5sec ISP (VAC), getting a reported 1,050kg to LEO, 650kg to SSO. 5 Reaver 2 Engines are planned for future Alphas. Now that's pretty kool but it pales in comparison to there most recent achievements. Having proven there manufacturing techniques they have now been award a contract to build Northrop Grumman's Antares 300 Rocket which is believed to be similar to they're own MLV. The MLV (Medium Launch Vehicle) doesn't have a sweet name like the Alpha but it's the chosen vehicle to take Blue Ghost (they're unmanned Luna Lander) to the moon. MLV will be fit with 7 Miranda engines. Although Lunar Injection Missions will not leave enough fuel the MLV's first stage is planned to do propulsive landings and be fully reusable just like Falcon 9, Super Heavy, & Starship. The Miranda/Vira (Vacuum Miranda) class engines have undergone 20 successful test fires and enter full production. MLV first stage specs: 7x Miranda engines LOX/RP-1 Turbopump Tap-off Cycle with combined 7,161kn of Thrust (VAC), 305 sec ISP (VAC), getting a projected payload of 16,000kg to LEO, 3,200 to GTO and the second stage powered by 1 Vira Engine (Vacuum optimized Miranda) will get a projected payload of 2,300kg to TLI. Yet none of that is worth even a single mention... Maybe next time.

How is SpaceX "slipping"? Did you see the Startship booster landing? The Falcon 9 rocket has been improved repeatedly and it has been doing more and more. The minor issues never endangered crew or people on the ground. It is important to look at theses issues so you can improve and move forward but it does not reach the level of "slipping" in the slighest. If you don't like Elon I understand, but you cannot argue with the success of the Falcon 9 rocket or SpaceX. You seem vengful.
It's more that SpaceX is still effectively a loss making company. Plus SpaceX has a problem where they used to be able to have the best people and underpay them. The lustre has been lost and there is a risk of SpaceX becoming lazy.

Looks like BO is learning how to name stuff properly (GERT), but they still need to learn how to delete Idiot Parts (like GERT) before moving into the naming phase.
@@bluesteel8376Flight 5 still had its glitches. Specifically the re-entry thermal issues on starships slats and misconfiguration of the booster that almost triggered an abort command during the catch. Sure flight 6 will probably look similar to flight 5 but there is still lots of room for improvement. Next up I bet we will see orbital refueling or a starship catch attempt
@@bluesteel8376 because its cool and i think isnt the 6th starship based on like a different prototype instead of the standard models. plus we can expect a landing of the starship on a proper landing pad hopefully.
Weird video. The parachute is not even a problem. It's normal behaviour. The landing failure isn't even bad news. They have been landing hundreds of times for years. They have a single failure and it's troubling and problematic?. When any other company on earth can land a booster, then we could talk about that. Then we have two upper stage problems. These are the real concern, but that is what the high safety record SpaceX upholds shows. They have an internal cargo mission fail to reach altitude and it's considered newsworthy. They're the only private company going to space.
00:59 - Who the hell would want to buy an obsolete space station from Boeing that will soon be de -orbited (i.e., soon to be wreckage/burned crispy shrapnel as it comes down)?
"We figured out the heat shield problem but won't tell you anything." is such a weird take. It sounds like they don't want to admit that the heat shield is unsafe.
Boeing keeps the SLS because it's expensive, it's not reusable, and NASA hasn't given up on it yet. Wherever the government is still paying for it with no questions asked, Boeing will be there.
4:41 OMG it is normal for the parachutes to open at a different pace and a total failure of a chute will not impact the capsules safety and performance. It is more likely they were brought to medical facilities was due to their duration in space and the atrophy suffered from this.
jeffingram8279; You’re exactly right! It absolutely was the mission duration that required a medical sign-off on crew return. People don’t realize that crews spend about 2.5 hours out of very 24hrs doing physical exercise to counter the long term effects of the micro gravity environment. There is much to be learned from their exercise routines, diets, sleep etc. but only if we take measurements before AND AFTER missions. The initial exams start within hours of landing and include physical exams, neurological assessments, and balance tests to gauge immediate effects of microgravity on muscles, bones, and the vestibular system. These first evaluations can take around 2-3 days but they actually continue with periodic exams for months after return. They MAY have been injured by reentry events but they were headed for the medical facility regardless.
Commercial airliners operate in a much safer area of the envelope, yet planes still crash. How many airliners have went down over the last 70 years before reaching the current era of reliability? SpaceX operates at the extreme edge of the envelope, yet they have done so with a record of success that is hard to fathom. Reusability is a system and every system has limits. Engineering and testing can't always predict the limits of reliability. You can be sure every one of the issues mentioned here have resulted in numerous changes to process, manufacturing, and maintenance. The fact that none of them were mission ending suggests they are making every effort to maintain safety & reliability (while also testing the limits of reusability). Their very record of success has lulled many into thinking Space is routine and easy.
@@jamesclem14 that is true, the previous CEO had a finical background. Most of the Boeing Board of Directors are financial types. Henry Ford said when you have your financial folks deciding engineering solutions, you'll have a shit product. Boeing is there now.
When companies get away with charging high prices for subpar products, it can feel like consumers are being taken advantage of. But with people becoming more informed, more options available, and reviews playing a big role in purchase decisions, companies are now being held to higher standards. If they want to keep customers coming back, they have to deliver quality, not just a flashy label or a clever ad. The days of getting away with overcharging for mediocrity might finally be coming to an end.
I would not be surprised if SpaceX build a landing pad on the moon for the SLS to have a safe arrival. However, the landing pad will have been built years before the SLS moon shot ever gets off the ground.. And as for SpaceX safety, they are constantly iterating - the Falcon 9 that took off even a year ago is not the same as the one taking off today. Yes, issues will arise but the aim is for them never to reoccur.
That new glenn layed down complexity shows why Elon made the rockets standing from starters... he is already landing them on chopsticks while they are trying to move the new glenn around on ground. They are building trucks to move airplanes...
id love to see a crewed dreamchaser but i dont see sierra having the resources to either get the starliner to work or change the dreamchaser back to being crewed anytime soon. a blue origin dreamliner could happen and it would save BO a lot of time and effort though.
The biggest issue with dreamchaser is the weird aerodynamics during launch compared to a simple pointy capsule - the launch vehicle company is gonna needs lots of $ to approve it for launch and I'm not sure there'll be launch insurance available as it's so different to everything else. As for the $, it's something you mention that sierra space may not have, I agree. I'm not sure if taking starliner with all it's baggage is best for BO rather than just identify the talented engineers and hire them.
@@aowen2471 a clean slate design is an option certainly. BO dont have to buy the starline and they have some experience of building capsules themselves but do BO also get the crewed flight contract with the starliner? if yes then i think it still makes sense.
Rocket Lab is the most awesome space company rising as an investmen you can actually invest in.

trump and Elon musk support each other plus yeah sleepy joe Biden had beef with elon coz during a electric auto expo he didnt even mention america's best selling ev which was tesla and instead gave us some poopy stellantis and gm vehicles
Let’s face it. Lockheed could make a lander in year it’ll work and it’ll have technology unheard of even in movies. But they won’t because then god forbid they have to share some of their insane tech.
I expect New Glenn to fly in February. It may have taken SpaceX about six weeks from rollout to launch of Falcon Heavy, but they already had lots of experience with Falcon 9, and Heavy is essentially just three 9s strapped together, and they have a culture of getting things done quickly. Blue Origin has no such experience with orbital rockets and no such culture. I notice none of the rumors concerning any possible sale of Starliner have received even anonymous confirmation from inside Boeing. I will believe it when Boeing confirms it. Besides, who'd want to buy it? The idea of stripping it and building a whole new space craft inside the existing shell makes no sense. It would take far too long for any new owner to be able to fulfill the Commercial Crew contract. Very much looking forward to Neutron beginning to fly. There are certain missions it might be more suited to than Falcon or even Starship.
When I worked as a contractor oilfields I paid significant money for any failure to fulfill or accident incurred while working the contract we need to demand our billions back from Boing.... They are liable we should not settle for owell that didn't work that is not exceptible

Specifically the re-entry thermal issues on starships slats and misconfiguration of the booster that almost triggered an abort command during the catch. Sure flight 6 will probably look similar to flight 5 but there is still lots of room for improvement. Next up I bet we will see orbital refueling or a starship catch attempt
They caught an empty cylinder last time- At this rate we will be drinking recycled urine in a lava tube on Mars soon-
@@bluesteel8376 because its cool and i think isnt the 6th starship based on like a different prototype instead of the standard models. plus we can expect a landing of the starship on a proper landing pad hopefully.
Weird video. The parachute is not even a problem. It's normal behaviour. The landing failure isn't even bad news. They have been landing hundreds of times for years. They have a single failure and it's troubling and problematic?. When any other company on earth can land a booster, then we could talk about that. Then we have two upper stage problems. These are the real concern, but that is what the high safety record SpaceX upholds shows. They have an internal cargo mission fail to reach altitude and it's considered newsworthy. They're the only private company going to space.
Not quite the only private company. You are forgetting Rocket Lab. IIRC, they are now up to 53 successful lunches.
@@GntlTch Albeit not crewed
00:59 - Who the hell would want to buy an obsolete space station from Boeing that will soon be de -orbited (i.e., soon to be wreckage/burned crispy shrapnel as it comes down)?
boeing doesn't own the space station. its selling the starliner capsule program.
I like the countinous sentence of the video. Good job
Delamination in the heat shield maybe due to contamination during layup we never allowed silicones into our composite lab at CSD/UTC
Will look good in my front garden!!😂 What a WASTE of TAX!!
Now its time to chase dreams.
You mean the LeakLiner™️?
"We figured out the heat shield problem but won't tell you anything." is such a weird take. It sounds like they don't want to admit that the heat shield is unsafe.
Boeing keeps the SLS because it's expensive, it's not reusable, and NASA hasn't given up on it yet. Wherever the government is still paying for it with no questions asked, Boeing will be there.
4:41 OMG it is normal for the parachutes to open at a different pace and a total failure of a chute will not impact the capsules safety and performance. It is more likely they were brought to medical facilities was due to their duration in space and the atrophy suffered from this.
jeffingram8279; You’re exactly right! It absolutely was the mission duration that required a medical sign-off on crew return. People don’t realize that crews spend about 2.5 hours out of very 24hrs doing physical exercise to counter the long term effects of the micro gravity environment. There is much to be learned from their exercise routines, diets, sleep etc. but only if we take measurements before AND AFTER missions. The initial exams start within hours of landing and include physical exams, neurological assessments, and balance tests to gauge immediate effects of microgravity on muscles, bones, and the vestibular system. These first evaluations can take around 2-3 days but they actually continue with periodic exams for months after return. They MAY have been injured by reentry events but they were headed for the medical facility regardless.
Boeing should pay back all the money that NASA paid to them.
Elon can use it for spares!!
THAT'S ALL IT'S WORTH I'M AFRAID!!!😂 EXPENSIVE SCRAP....
Commercial airliners operate in a much safer area of the envelope, yet planes still crash. How many airliners have went down over the last 70 years before reaching the current era of reliability? SpaceX operates at the extreme edge of the envelope, yet they have done so with a record of success that is hard to fathom. Reusability is a system and every system has limits. Engineering and testing can't always predict the limits of reliability. You can be sure every one of the issues mentioned here have resulted in numerous changes to process, manufacturing, and maintenance. The fact that none of them were mission ending suggests they are making every effort to maintain safety & reliability (while also testing the limits of reusability). Their very record of success has lulled many into thinking Space is routine and easy.
"Boeing just gave up on Starliner.......", You can't give up on something that you were never serious about in the first place.
So, are US space ships (as stated in the captions) crude? 😜
Also Boeing stopped being run by engineers and by accountants
@@jamesclem14 that is true, the previous CEO had a finical background. Most of the Boeing Board of Directors are financial types. Henry Ford said when you have your financial folks deciding engineering solutions, you'll have a shit product. Boeing is there now.
The world gave up on boeing!!😂
Space x is not slipping
When companies get away with charging high prices for subpar products, it can feel like consumers are being taken advantage of. But with people becoming more informed, more options available, and reviews playing a big role in purchase decisions, companies are now being held to higher standards. If they want to keep customers coming back, they have to deliver quality, not just a flashy label or a clever ad. The days of getting away with overcharging for mediocrity might finally be coming to an end.
I am not sure about that, the car manufacturers have poor quality on both the electric vehicles and the gas powered machines.
It's about time, everyone else has.!!
Boeing can't even build airplanes. Why on earth are they trying to build a rocket?
I would not be surprised if SpaceX build a landing pad on the moon for the SLS to have a safe arrival. However, the landing pad will have been built years before the SLS moon shot ever gets off the ground.. And as for SpaceX safety, they are constantly iterating - the Falcon 9 that took off even a year ago is not the same as the one taking off today. Yes, issues will arise but the aim is for them never to reoccur.
The real question is will SLS even be continued at this point. It will be on live support until Starship is manrated, then it is off to the races.
That new glenn layed down complexity shows why Elon made the rockets standing from starters... he is already landing them on chopsticks while they are trying to move the new glenn around on ground. They are building trucks to move airplanes...
good point, Space Shuttle thinking
id love to see a crewed dreamchaser but i dont see sierra having the resources to either get the starliner to work or change the dreamchaser back to being crewed anytime soon. a blue origin dreamliner could happen and it would save BO a lot of time and effort though.
The biggest issue with dreamchaser is the weird aerodynamics during launch compared to a simple pointy capsule - the launch vehicle company is gonna needs lots of $ to approve it for launch and I'm not sure there'll be launch insurance available as it's so different to everything else. As for the $, it's something you mention that sierra space may not have, I agree.
I'm not sure if taking starliner with all it's baggage is best for BO rather than just identify the talented engineers and hire them.
@@aowen2471 a clean slate design is an option certainly. BO dont have to buy the starline and they have some experience of building capsules themselves but do BO also get the crewed flight contract with the starliner? if yes then i think it still makes sense.
Their complacency in being a government contractor is biting them in the ass. It is not the old space industry any more
Rocket Lab is the most awesome space company rising as an investmen you can actually invest in. Even Boeing Starliner is a Rocket Lab opportunity its Neutron, launch summer 2025, which is designed to be able to fly astronauts later, may indicate another cost-efficient high-quality fast-tempo company is needed for affordable fault tolerant multi vendor US human space access.
RKLB 🚀
What a comedown for Boeing. But with Blue Origin, Space X and Rocket Lab has brought new blood in the game.
G.E.R.T. - Giant Enormous Rocket Truck.... Did they really need Giant and Enormous in the name? LOL
Yes. It’s funny. Also it allows for Gert. Which is also funny.
it’s a giant (enormous rocket) truck. meaning it’s a giant truck that carries enormous rockets. makes sense to me
Aaand without an iss replcement , nowhere for starliner to go.
I think BO is going to succeed but they can't compete with Soace X
12:20 They have a really fantastic relationship with the FAA bureaucracy until January, when President Trump cleans house.
trump and Elon musk support each other plus yeah sleepy joe Biden had beef with elon coz during a electric auto expo he didnt even mention america's best selling ev which was tesla and instead gave us some poopy stellantis and gm vehicles
Let’s face it. Lockheed could make a lander in year it’ll work and it’ll have technology unheard of even in movies. But they won’t because then god forbid they have to share some of their insane tech.
I expect New Glenn to fly in February. It may have taken SpaceX about six weeks from rollout to launch of Falcon Heavy, but they already had lots of experience with Falcon 9, and Heavy is essentially just three 9s strapped together, and they have a culture of getting things done quickly. Blue Origin has no such experience with orbital rockets and no such culture.
I notice none of the rumors concerning any possible sale of Starliner have received even anonymous confirmation from inside Boeing. I will believe it when Boeing confirms it. Besides, who'd want to buy it? The idea of stripping it and building a whole new space craft inside the existing shell makes no sense. It would take far too long for any new owner to be able to fulfill the Commercial Crew contract.
Very much looking forward to Neutron beginning to fly. There are certain missions it might be more suited to than Falcon or even Starship.
In retrospect it probably wasn't a good idea to have a white elephant as StarLiners unofficial mascot.
When I worked as a contractor oilfields I paid significant money for any failure to fulfill or accident incurred while working the contract we need to demand our billions back from Boing....
They are liable we should not settle for owell that didn't work that is not exceptible
*Boeing* is the sound made by an airframe maker and defense contractor who [expletive] up so totally that they're going to toss in the towel and take a _multi _*_billion_*_ dollar_ markdown on their annual stock report. *_Sucks to be them..._*
I said it and I’ll said it again NASA should never have chosen Boeing they should of chosen Sierra Nirvada
Good. I think it would be cool if SpaceX started making planes now just to finish them off.
No sane entity would purchase that liability from Boeing!
.... SpaceX is slipping?! Compared to who?!?
Who turned up the savagery on this video. 😂😂😅
Boeing needs a complete cultural change. Their aircraft are barely competitive.
It should be 'Startruck'
Starbanger
No, Startrash!
thats something that elon would name if he were to make one.
they should all work together & amalgamate instead of working against each other & duplicating resources
3:55 dont get impression of this "Rocket pushing on itself" versus pushing against Atmosphere. Well still majeur challenge all this LEO spacing.
Just because you flew on the spaceshuttle, doesn't make you a space expert. Just because I have been on a plane, I'm not an aviation expert!
You don't need to train your entire career to be a passenger on a plane.
Well .. 400 flights with 330+ landings... Eventually Falcon 9 would have an EOL
7:06 no STARSHIP IS REAL AND IT’s SPECTACULAR - new Glenn is a falcon 9 that still hasn’t lifted off yet
& it won't, not with payload or people
Kent looks like he spent some time riding a rainbow.
SLS has problems with the heat shield of its capcel
If It's a Boeing................. Yeah.
Thanks for giving me credit for my video, I really appreciate it, most people just take my material and say it theirs, love you channel, look forward to the next video
Lets get this straight, an astronaut criticized Musk? so the guy that merely flies on the thing, criticizing the guy that imagined, invented and built a whole new approach to everything when everyone including probably that astronaut told him it couldn't be done
well its ironic that 2 space shuttles failed (kaboom) yet he was willing to fly on them. but yeah still criticism is a good thing if its based on proper evidence and proof just saying random stuff without any base is dumb.
So Musk us so rich he's officially above criticism? Keep simping for billionaires, good peasant
So, Space X has just 1 employee and it's the owner?
@@foxyboiiyt3332 Bet you would drop the shower soap for bozo's.
@@kentgrewe4608 No no no, that's another billionaire. You can't even imagine someone not gently suckling the testes of an oligarch you're so far gone, huh?
At long last an Engineer CEO who can accept reality ($ come second) and act accordingly ... I hope this is the start of Boeings return to world aero leader. 😊
They don’t want to tell you what the inside looked like at return
