"Given the potential for systemic issues at Boeing, I would also note that NASA has decided to proceed with an organizational safety assessment with Boeing as they previously conducted with SpaceX"

Ah so just the fact that Boeing has been around for half a century doesn't absolve them from being subject to safety reviews? Nice to see some sense.
It's McDonnell-Douglas with a Boeing name -- beancounters run the show now.
You put a very disappointing feeling into words. Such a shame.
Well, their CEO also doesn’t go on podcasts and smoke pot. Not that I think that’s necessarily a better or worse sign that SpaceX is or is not safe than a CEO drinking moderately in public, but we are prudish about these things in the States.
