Yeah, the satellite disintegrates and they call it an "anomaly" and "unlikely that the satellite will be recoverable". This response is even funnier than "the front fell off" sketch.

I feel like it's time to class Boeing as not only inept but a dangerously inept organisation.

Boeing: Oh, very rigorous aerospace engineering standards.

What sort of thing?

Boeing: Well, the front’s not supposed to explode for a start.

No minimum crew requirement, though.
