That is a notable change from "we're just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon" that has been the message for a long time. Now it's "we're looking at all options".

The new Star Wars comic line is going to, finally, begin filling in stories post-Return of the Jedi!
You mean re-filling. It was filled quite nicely with the original Thrawn Trilogy. Still glad some of that was salvaged and brought into canon.
Or what has been called one of the most historic and tumultuous years of a century (1968)... Yeah.
Now I gotta look up 1973. Never heard it mentioned in this context...
Answer:
- Roe vs Wade
- Vietnam War officially ended, US pulls out of Cambodia
- OPEC oil embargo started
- Wounded Knee occupation
- Major flooding of the Mississippi River
- New tallest building in the world (Sears Tower)
- Nixon goes to China and US opens official office in Beijing
- Battle of the Sexes tennis match
- Secretariat wins first triple crown in 25 years, smashing records
- "The Miller Test" for obscenity is established by the US Supreme Court
- Two notable commercial airline crashes with fatalities (both in Boston, interestingly)
- Egypt and Israel sign peace accord
- Much of the Watergate scandal played out in 73, though Nixon didn't resign until August of '74
That's what the saying means. It doesn't mean perfect isn't good. It means perfect is great, but don't let it stop good.
They technical don't make airframes or doors either (and still don't until their buyout of their supplier goes through).
If that's real, that would be after he was struck, right? The bullet is to his left, and he was shot from his right
Crazy. This is a good article to point to when people say everyone used to be better. Aside from all the, you know, racism, sexism, etc.
They did it once, then did it again and not only is it still just a fine, the fine didn't even go up. Given inflation since then, the fine actually went down in real terms.
That'll teach them for sure! /s
No, I don't think so.
The Earth's density is 5.51 g/cm³.
For comparison, a baseball has a density of 1.3 g/cm³.
Even just the Earth's surface crust has an average density of 2.7 g/cm³ (it's more dense under the ocean)
Unless you can compress a baseball with your hands, you're not making a dent in the Earth.
The only way it would work would be if your strength increased proportionally with your size, which isn't the case normally for humans (someone 20% taller than another person isn't necessarily 20% stronger than them).
Yeah, saw something after I left the comment. It was Minecraft per se that was down. It was the x box authorization/login system. Even bigger!

"lack of experience in the area..."
Boeing dwarfs SpaceX in experience building spacecraft.
Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were both built by the McDonnell Corp. That company merged with the Douglas Aircraft company (which built the 3rd stage of the Saturn V rocket) becoming McDonnell Douglas in 1967, which merged into Boeing in 1997. Boeing itself co-manufactured the space shuttle orbiters with Rockwell.
On paper and judging from experience and history, if you were going to pick a single company to build a spacecraft, it would be them. Not some brand new company run by a space-obsessed software engineer.
Clearly Boeing has huge cultural issues and has for a while.
Just saying if you wanted to go off experience alone, they're the best there is.
