Because I love Boeing SOOOOO much… detach it from the ISS and put it in a parking orbit downwind of the ISS and have Boeing send the ACCOUNTANTS up to fix the dam thing… It could be a movie of how the last three Boeing CEOs get shot into space to die Horta…., I mean FIX the problem. I’d pay 25 bucks at an IMAX theatre to see THAT… PS to whoever the Boeing hitman is, I’m sorry…. My luck it’s the pistolero from Türkiye too…

Meanwhile, United Launch Alliance just had another successful launch, sending a probe toward Venus. They regularly put stuff up in orbit and, I believe, send stuff to the ISS...yet people only talk about Space X and NASA. *sigh*

Apparently, NASA forgot the rule "two is one, and one is none" that was pounded into my head by the AF. Or they never did learn it, which, based upon both shuttle tragedies, I'd suspect they didn't. 🤦‍♂️ Maybe some day, someone will dismantle Space Force and rebuild it with the capabilities to do rescues in orbit? 🤷‍♂️ Of course, that will require purging all the flag rank officers and starting fresh. Maybe put warrants and top three enlisted ranks on the panels? 🤔
