A Boeing where lots of parts fall off while it flies?

Just kidding, I wish them luck. Sounds like they need it.

Boeing took so long, they're about to take third place in a two man race. Kinda.

ETA: holy cow that's complicated.
A lot has to go right for a successful orbit. Idk if Boeing can pull it off.

Cripes... it's like today's rocket designers all used to design dildos for Adam & Eve or something.

I dig Space X rockets performance-wise. But it seems like nothing inspirational-looking has gone into orbit since the Saturn V.
