@arstechnica ...and suddenly spaceflight became a lot more scary.

Being an astronaut is stressful enough, and I know Boeing's airplane people didn't make the capsule, but you have to wonder at some point.

@arstechnica If they make rockets like they currently make planes, I would not get in that. 🤣

@arstechnica
Boeing + space travel. What could possibly go wrong?

I assume they're adding a stock ticker to the pre-flight checklist.
