NASA’s NEW Space Capsule (Starliner)...failure! Boeing, one of the world’s legendary aerospace companies, had grand plans for its new spacecraft even before securing the NASA contract in 2014. If space truly opened up, as many predicted at that time, Boeing aimed to assert itself as a leading spacecraft provider, akin to their success in the commercial aircraft sector. Nearly a decade later, those dreams have crumbled. Not a single person has flown Boeing’s spacecraft to space. No one has booked a private flight. The company has shouldered billions of dollars in cost overruns, prompting NASA’s safety advisors to call for an independent assessment of the program. Meanwhile, SpaceX, the company that secured a contract around the same time as Boeing but with nearly 40% less funding, has completed 8 missions to the ISS for NASA, including private astronaut launches. What went wrong? How could a giant in the aerospace industry fail so miserably in the race against SpaceX? What did they do still stay on the ground when its competitors have been launching astronauts to the space station since 2020? Stay tuned as we dive into this episode of Alpha Tech!
