@MBrandtner added, thanks. In the slightly zoomed version that was just outside the screen.
An American astronaut fears for his life because he is in a space ship with the alien from the „Alien“ film series. He gets a message from ground control via headphones: „So, we ran the numbers, and it's still safer than the Boeing ship“
@MBrandtner added thanks
@bert_hubert (snigger!)
Just to spoil the mood, it seems Boeing has a new boss, and he's not a fundamentalist bean-counter. He appears to be quite sensible, in fact.
Stranger things have happened :-)
@RupertReynolds @bert_hubert I certainly hope that will turn things around, but with the damage the McDonnell Douglas merger, it will take many years, perhaps decades, before it's fixed (if it ever is).
At this point, I wouldn't trust Boeing to fly a paper airplane.
@bert_hubert How can a company that had a virtual monopoly on civil aviation now find itself the object of jokes, ridicule, and safety failures? Corporate greed, like all things corporate, is at the root of most problems, human ambition far outweighs ethics.
@secoiqq @bert_hubert in the same way that GE and Sears failed: financial dealings became more important than the product or service.
@bert_hubert I read recently that Boeing are considering building supersonic passenger aircraft again - presumably because that will mean there's less time for bits to fall off in flight.
@bert_hubert omg this is hilarious
@bert_hubert This comic is hilarious, but honestly I'm a both-sides kinda guy
@bert_hubert rescuing astronauts is a eugenicists dream. This is the one group of people who are safe in Musk's slimy hands.
@bert_hubert at least the airlocks in this one stay closed when needed
