Boeing Revealed Major Plan Change on Starliner After Return. Elon Musk Reacted...
Kelly Ortberg, the new Boeing chief executive, is seen by many as Boeing's last hope to save a giant on the brink of decline.
He arrives at a time when the company is suffering a humiliating setback and a huge loss in its space ambitions, with the Star liner program failing to complete its most important test flight.
This left him with a life-or-death question: Should the Star liner program be canceled to save a dying Boeing, especially when NASA doesn't want it to happen?
Find out everything in today's Techmap episode.

It's no coincidence that Boeing engineers lobbied NASA to allow a crewed Star liner return even though they had yet to find the root cause of the spacecraft's propulsion system failure.
Clearly, it is so humiliating for the giant aerospace company when its vehicle has to rely on its upstart rival to carry astronauts home. However, the issue is not just a matter of reputation, but also a balance between national duty and strained cash reserves.
Should or shouldn't continue to pour money into the Star liner's project? While the aerospace community is calling for the abolition of this wasteful program, for Boeing's newly appointed CEO, Kelly Ortberg, things don't seem so simple.

Should keep Star liner alive?
Before Ortberg joined Boeing, executives had vowed to honor the company’s contract to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station for Nasa.
This accommodates Nasa's purpose in the commercial crew program, meaning having two vehicles to ensure redundancy in the urgent case. Currently, SpaceX Dragon is the only safe and reliable vehicle to ferry astronauts to space other than US rivals Russia and China.
This partly explains why NASA has gone to great lengths to help Boeing get here regardless of delays the vehicle has encountered.
Take, for example, Star liner's first crewed test flight which has been delayed for 7 years. It should have been canceled until the persistent issues of the hardware and software were fixed. But Nasa cut corners in the procedure by downplaying the helium leak which was found just hours before launch and then, allowing the spacecraft to launch.
