I think messing up on NASA projects will hurt a company way more. Of course aviation is supposed to be safe, but even the 737 Max has flown thousands of hours. Comparing how many people that have flown on them, versus how many that have been hurt/killed, is still a small number, which is still is supposed to be zero of course.

Traversing space, a pinnacle of engineering, is quite another level of danger, and if you insist on your product being functional and safe, and then kills two astronauts, would cause a whole different level of backlash

In this particular situation, if Boeing says it's safe, I would be inclined to trust them, because if they make the return happen, and it fails, Boeing is done fore. As a crew member though, I would pass for sure and wait for a Dragon

I was thoroughly impressed with the skill level of the participants. Although I haven't been to a high level event since Covid, there were a lot of elements I've never seen done in women's battles

Now I really look forward to the mens event too, to see if they have evolved just as much

Imagine planning to be away for 8 days, and then ending up being away for 8 months.

If it's Boeing, you're not going (home)

At least they made it to the ISS Let's hope they manage to be able to fill in the roles of those not going to the ISS for the next rotation. I recall that they do a lot of training to be able to handle different operations on the ISS.

Unity engine is also of Danish origin

So we do have a few large innovative companies 🙂

No innovative drugs? Wegovy is made by Novo Nordisk.

Novo is the most valuable company in Europe and 16th in the world

I would love to see the restrictions on frame design removed. I want more Lotus 108s and Cervelo P5Xs A recumbent racing league would be awesome, both fared and non-faring

Team No Fun strikes again!

I think the fine is for stopping during a TT, which clearly shows he is not actively racing. Regardless though, he and his local cheering squad did more positive for the sport than UCI ever will accomplish

UCI is located in Switzerland, so fines to rides are always denominated in Francs

I think the Republicans would just use that as an excuse to do something even crazier at their first opportunity

I would definitely also prefer the timeline where Bernie won the 2016 election

And I can only sympathize with those that feel both candidates are a bad choice, but in the bigger picture, I would view one a lot worse than the other.
