    I hope the person who discovered the leak conveyed this dire information with a hilariously high-pitched voice

    Boeing and leaks don’t mix apparently

    The helium leaked because the door plug on the helium tank fell off.

    They also found out the liquid oxygen tank was filled with chocolate milk. Oh Boeing! 🤦

    If I were one of these people slated to take the flight I would nope the fuck out. This is what they found, how many more issues are they going to “find”(because they kept quiet about it like they always do) once this thing takes off?

      Yeah there’s a chance this becomes another challenger

      Challenger happened because of negligence if I recall correctly and boeing issues are also happening because of negligence

        Challenger happened because the engineers said they shouldn’t launch because it was cold and the politicians said just do it anyway.

          Replace “politicians” with “boeing” and “engineers” with “boeing staff” and its still plausible

      I can’t believe they’re going through with it. The last (only orbital) test flight had serious problems.

        The last (only orbital) test flight

        After the first orbital test flight, they did do a second test flight which did reach the ISS.

          Interesting, I don’t know how I missed that, I follow a lot of space news. Thanks for the info / correction, definitely not as crazy given the second test that reached the ISS.

        Well the astronauts on the inaugural flight are from their death wish division so they accept the risks.
