Boeing - " where does all these extra parts go"?

When the NASA commercial crew program was in its early days, congress really only wanted one provider: Boeing. Thankfully things turned out different and NASA got Boeing AND SpaceX.
the contrast between the two company's crew programs is staggering today. SpaceX has gone beyond just flying NASA astronauts and are doing innovative missions like Polaris Dawn.

I feel so bad for the 2 astronauts stuck in space 😔

0:49 "will do what no human has before" this is technically true as no one has ever spacewalked out of a Dragon capsule before, venting the entire ship even!, gonna be wild

Elon Musk they greatest African American ever.

Boeing- ‘ well would you look at that’ 😊

Boeing - can we use Lego on our next space flight?

[donnah]

They’re better off up there. Earth is a hot mess 😮

Imagine pilots who have trained on a boeing being suddenly trained for an airbus...in space!

[valderith]

Im always rooting for spacex way more than I would for boeing

[Spica]

Mark my words: THE BOEING SPACECRAFT WILL NOT SURVIVE ITS RETURN TO EARTH. Wise move ditching the Boeing bomb

[AustinA-np]

There probably enjoying there time up there

[wilfredolopez]

I really hope we do not lose any in the space walk that looks insane

[ThavaMaths]

It is an historical moment for human kind and a daily routine for Elon.

[Chiyo-tjgn]

This what can be done without government bureaucracy

[DLRinc]

I wonder if the stuck astronauts have a chance at a civil case against Boeing when they get back..

[Dro-mp]

Wait why did they say they never hVe space walked before? I thought nasa did it all the time I'm confused

[jaymudd]

Space Walks since 1965, Leonov and White.

I mean, if you want the specifics, they’ve got horsepower like Darcy Retzke from Smashing Pumpkins. It’s no news… Brother works in Minnesota… Alex Rodriguez, and the merging effort between baseball and music by Derek Jeter… Their buddy Larry, who was a Band-Aid definitely needed an ex strategy as well… Now is he related to freese or is he related to Taylor Swift? The starting point of their exit strategy was 11 years ago… When they needed to figure out some things, they already knew they could potentially be getting in serious trouble… McCormick had been working on part of the plan as well has a judge from a judge perspective, knowing as little information as he possibly needed… But he definitely knows what was going on…
