A sad day for the company that built the B-17, B-29, and 747.

That's when Boeing was solidly run by engineers. After they 'merged' with McDonnell Douglas, the Boeing name stayed but MD's accountants took over.

So I've heard. What a disaster.

I find it odd that the “astronauts” currently “stranded” on the space station were only supposed to be up there until this past summer sometime. But here we are almost 6 months past the time they were supposed to be back. And yet somehow there was a picture of them the other day wearing Christmas outfits? That makes zero sense to me.

The picture was explained, the Christmas gear was shipped up there six months ago.

Thanks.
I still think the whole thing is weird. They can ship **** to them but they are stranded? I don’t get it lol.

Everything is on a schedule planned far in advance. The two crewed launches that have gone up there since the astronauts were stranded already had their planned return seats filled with other astronauts. In addition, there have been four un-crewed supply runs up to the station since that Boeing launch last June.
