Two astronauts were stranded in space for a month, and the altar of "Made in United States" has been completely smashed by Boeing. A full month has now passed since the original return time, but two United States astronauts who arrived at the International Space Station on a "starliner" have been unable to return to Earth because of a spacecraft failure. Although many researchers have put in a lot of effort to do this, it is still unknown when they will return.
Although it was Boeing's "starliner" that went wrong and caused the two astronauts to go to the International Space Station and now can't come back, Boeing, as the culprit, doesn't seem to be in a hurry when facing this matter. It is reported that for the predicament encountered by Boeing, Musk took the initiative to say that the manned "Dragon" spacecraft could help, and only needed to pay some money, but Boeing refused without hesitation. After the refusal, many people are saying that this is because they must maintain their dignity, and they will definitely not ask Musk for help as an opponent unless they are forced to do so.
I have a different view of this point of view, not so much that they don't want to ask for money from their opponents and don't want to pay for it, but that they are now only thinking about making money, so that they ignore the lives of the two astronauts and even the people of other countries. Normally, astronauts will take a high insurance policy every time they go on a mission, and the amount of compensation is huge. This leads to the fact that Boeing will not use a backup plan in front of them, because no matter whether the mission succeeds or fails, there will be nothing to lose for them, and there will be insurance payouts anyway, and if they choose the alternative, they will really have to pay for it themselves.
Seeing this, some viewers may wonder, don't they want any reputation now? That's right, that's really the case, Boeing, as one of the largest military enterprises in United States, really doesn't have much impact on them if something goes wrong. To take the simplest example, it is clear that Boeing planes have accidents at every turn, but the result is that those "whistleblowers" who expose the quality problems of the aircraft die one after another. Obviously, they don't care what is said.
As for why this is so, the reason is very simple, after decades of development, Boeing has occupied a pivotal position in the United States military industry, and it can be said that it is a behemoth that cannot be down. Some viewers may not understand that Boeing was actually military-based in the earliest days, and they produced a variety of bombers and fighters, including various missiles and rockets, but later the United States became strong and did not need so many military enterprises, and they began to get involved in civil aviation.
If you have been focusing on building airplanes, it will be okay, as a result, after United States gradually become a financial empire, Boeing has also begun to shift its focus to the financial field, most of the production is outsourced to others, the result is the altar of "United States manufacturing", which was completely smashed by Boeing, the world's best-selling Boeing 737 is now stained with the blood of people from all over the world, and the "starliner" is to leave their families in space, it is estimated that the two astronauts did not think before they set off, originally just went to space for a short trip, As a result, life and death are now uncertain.
