> Boeing has been through hell and back ?

Unfortunately, several hundred boeing product users didn't get the opportunity to come back.

After the numerous launch scrubs, this one way ticket to the ISS was already a distinct possiblity. Maybe boeing won't be able to bring these astronauts back either.

From a wider persoective, this really highlights why human space travel should be minimized. Outside of teenage boy spaceman fantasy and various government's desire to start shooting people in space, there is very little reason.

The fragility of this planet is a very large reason to learn to survive outside of our nest. The more fragile the more important.

Not disagreeing with your point, and admittedly being a little bit pedantic, but I always laugh when people talk about the planet being in danger.

The earth is going to be fine. It’s humans who are in danger.
