Monument of failure
Boeing is no longer the great company that developed the Boeing 747.
The Boeing Starliner project has been delayed for 10 years and has cost more than $5 billion. All plans have not been completed on time, and every test and test flight has failed. Before the spacecraft failure was completely resolved, they dared to let the two astronauts perform a manned mission.
Although the two astronauts successfully docked with the ISS with their rich experience and maneuvering ability after facing helium leaks and engine failures, who would dare to come back on this spacecraft full of problems?


失败的纪念碑
波音公司不再是开发波音747的伟大公司了。
波音公司的星际客机项目已经拖延了10年,耗资超过50亿美元,所有计划都没有按时完成,每次测试试飞都失败了,在飞船故障没有彻底解决之前,竟然敢让两名宇航员执行载人任务。
虽然两位宇航员在面临氦气泄漏、发动机故障等问题后,凭借丰富的经验和机动能力成功与国际空间站对接,但是谁还敢乘坐这艘问题重重的飞船回来呢?

At present, the Starliner is still hanging on the ISS, and the return plan has been delayed for a month.
Boeing rejected SpaceX's rescue plan, which suggested using the Dragon spacecraft to bring the two astronauts back. Of course, this would cause Boeing to face hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, so they refused. The lives of the two astronauts are obviously not worth $350 million, let alone Boeing's reputation.
Boeing's problem is no longer a technical problem, but the collapse of the entire corporate system.
Boeing's passenger aircraft has software defects, the hatch falls off, and the landing gear tires disappear. The delays and continuous failures of the Starliner project indicate that Boeing's R&D, experimentation, and verification systems face serious management problems.
I don't know how Boeing plans to bring the two astronauts back. The luckiest thing is that the spacecraft returns successfully after repairs and diagnosis, and the worst thing is that a bigger failure occurs.
But in any case, the first docking of the Starliner and the ISS is by no means a milestone, but a monument to failure.

目前,星际客机仍悬挂在国际空间站,返回计划已推迟一个月。
波音公司拒绝了SpaceX的救援计划,后者建议使用龙飞船将两名宇航员带回来。当然,这将使波音公司面临数亿美元的损失,所以他们拒绝了。两名宇航员的生命显然不值3.5亿美元,更不用说波音公司的声誉了。
波音的问题已经不再是技术问题,而是整个企业体系的崩溃。
波音客机出现软件缺陷、舱门脱落、起落架轮胎消失等,星际客机项目的拖延和不断的失败,表明波音的研发、实验和验证体系面临严重的管理问题。
不知道波音公司打算怎么把两位宇航员送回来,最幸运的是飞船修复诊断后成功返回,最惨的是发生更大的故障。
但无论如何,星际航线与国际空间站的首次对接绝不是一个里程碑,而是一座失败的纪念碑。
