The people in every one of these Starliner threads seemingly hoping for the worst case scenario to occur just so they can dunk on Boeing for it are disturbing
It’s a weird moral grey zone. Everyone has forgotten the hundreds of people Boeing murdered as a result of their desire to skirt modern safety regulations. I just flew my family across the country yesterday on one of these end-stage-capitalism products for lack of any other option.
Were I to be ash this morning, I would be forgotten too.
But if astronauts were killed, maybe the outrage would finally be enough for all the greased palms to be sheepishly shoved in pockets just long enough to get justice, ground all those affronts to safety, and jail enough executives to maybe make Boeing stop being a global safety risk and a national security concern.
Call me crazy but hoping for two innocent astronauts to die on the off-chance things improve isn’t something I would consider morally gray.
Also, they totally know where their luggage is, it’ll just take a couple of days to show up.
“Oh yeah, are you sure about that? Then why does my AirTag say it’s already landed on Jupiter, hmm? I’d like to speak to your manager.”
I only want to retrieve my luggage, my child
