    Imagine the choice… either SpaceX or Boeing. Don’t know which company skips on quality assurance more.

      This is unfair to say. I hate Musk as much as the next guy. But SpaceX engineers are superb.

        Haven’t said anything about engineers. But they have the same boss who keeps talking about impossible things and firing people to justify his bonuses.

          They have a team to keep that boss at bay.

          The day SpaceX has issues like Boeing, I’ll believe you.

            They do have issues. It’s just Musk saying that’s what we wanted and everyone believes him.

              I don’t listen to that Musk has to say about the SpaceX issues.

              I’d rather listen to the actual engineers working on the missions.

                Well reality of the situation is that they had so many issues lately. Be it because of Musk’s stupidity or just regular old cockiness

                  Where are these issues reported?

                  I’ve only heard about Boeing’s as of lately.

                  But maybe that’s because of the hivemind.

                    I read it on the news. Engine exploded recently. Starship’s launch was riddled with malfunctions, etc.
