Sure but the rocket being used is Atlas V which is from the Lockheed half of the partnership.
Delta series is what Boeing brought to the ULA partnership. Which they acquired from buying out McDonnell Douglas.
Boeing didn’t design either rocket ULA has flown.
ULA is a whole separate entity though. It’s not part of Boeing or Lockheed directly. And even then it’s main engineering teams are former Lockheed and Rockwell people. There is very little about ULA that’s truly Boeing. And Atlas V is based off Atlas III which Lockheed made on their own before ULA became a thing in 2006.
Whole different division of Boeing. With the same level of NASA collaboration going on as SpaceX had for the crewed version of Dragon.
The main explody part is an Atlas V rocket built by ULA. Same rocket that did all these launches: https://www.ulalaunch.com/missions/-in-category/categories/rocket/atlas-5
Sadly the launch was scrubbed. Because ULA noticed something they didn’t like with a valve on the 2nd stage of their rocket.
Hopefully something ULA can fix without having to take the whole stack apart.
Probably not much. The capsule has already been tested and flown to ISS without a crew. This is finally the first crewed test. It was supposed to happen I think last year. But NASA tore down the capsule one more time and asked Boeing to change out some wiring harness shielding just to be extra careful about high oxygen environment fire potential.
ULA’s Atlas rocket which is taking the capsule up has been successful in every launch as far as I’ve paid attention back to 2007 when it first started being used. Including I believe all of the Mars rover missions.
I get all the hurr durr Boeing jokes are going to happen. But that’s commercial airline Boeing. Not MIC/NASA Boeing. And ULA has a fantastic track record. I’m going to be sad if Blue Origin really does end up buying them out.
Honestly though this is one car system Tesla might be able to get close to having no team of their own.
The brakes on all their cars are designed and supplied by Brembo. Tesla certainly has some people making sure they’ll fit. But that step is only needed when a new model is being designed. Once the model launches Tesla can make a quality person (lol) work with Brembo on any revisions.
Edit - if not clear I agree with you and am wondering if The Onion is predicting the future again.
Shitting on Boeing is getting clicks. So the news keeps reporting on every bit of anything they can find related to them. The incident rate isn’t going up. At the same time there have been a few issues with Airbus planes but that’s not getting engagement as much so the news isn’t focusing on them.
Iran has been shaping them into what they are now though.
They even understand when the boss is fucking with their pay.
You’re touching on the most common misconception. Most people would pay less in taxes than they currently do in insurance premiums. The cost of healthcare would go down in the US with single payer. Even the ultra conservative Koch family funded Cato Institute found this to be true.
There is way too much profit motive in the US healthcare system. So much so we pay double what other nations do for some procedures with generally worse outcomes. Last report I saw is the US spends 16% of GDP on healthcare. The next closest nation was Japan at 10%. Yet the US was among the lowest life expectancy of all G20 nations.
Russia and Iran met to coordinate weeks before the attack. Hamas then executed an attack plan they had been holding back on for 2 years.
It wasn’t a coincidence and acting like it was is idiotic. But you’re welcome to follow the crowd here and put your head in the sand.
It’s why they’re so mad when they still lose. Even cheating hard as they can is no longer guaranteed to win them majority control.
Iran intentionally caused all of this when they had Hamas attack in October. The whole point of Hamas starting shit was to derail peace talks between Israel and the Saudis. With one of the main focus areas being an official Palestinian state.
Yep. They’re having engine issues lately. But it’s easy clicks for the news to shit on Boeing right now.
He owns those people now. He can have them back.
They get snazzy uniforms and patrol vehicles too.
This is why Hamas attacked.
Israel and the Saudis are so tired of Iran’s shit they started working towards a peace agreement. Including the Saudis pushing for formal recognition of a Palestinian state as part of the plan.
Instead of realizing maybe they’re the problem, Iran responds by letting their terrorist groups start back up with the hostilities.
If Bibi wasn’t such a dumbass Zionist, much of the world would be aligned behind telling Iran to fuck off right now. But instead he’s doing exactly what Iran (and likely Russia) wanted to see happen.
Casey’s breakfast pizza is another. There is zero reason for a gas station to have good breakfast pizza at a reasonable price. But they do.
Their regular pizza is also decent for the price.

Lots of people are incredibly stupid. Many of those stupid people are also selfish and mean. It will always be easy to appeal to those people by blaming all their problems on others. Until science figures out a way to force on the empathy parts of our brains, we’ll go through these cycles of stupid people cheering on fascism.
