That's not good. Hopefully there can be a rescue mission if need be.Also Boeing needs to stop fing up. They keep killing people...
I’m sure SpaceX will happily arrange for a rescue mission at Boeing’s expense!
This also might be the thing the first astronauts warned us about a private space industry. Sure, they can innovate faster and cheaper, but not as safely. There's a 60 minutes interview with musk crying because his astronaut idols didn't see eye to eye with him on privatizing space.
I don't buy that at all. If you read about Apollo, and before that, you'll see that simply this stuff is hard and many times you have things "half-assed" and just take the risk. Another case is the Space Shuttle..
With that said I think Boeing has been too unreliable for manned space flight. I don't trust much the "we're just taking time to gather more data" and this to me is the bad part about private companies: they have no compulsion to be truthful to the public.
