Marc G Said "And: it seems the agencies/ companies are taking this seriously and doing a methodical, transparent, unhurried review to make sure the thing is flightworthy."
Yep they are being methodical alright...Boeing is trying to figure out how they are going to get another couple of billion dollars to pay for their lousy management. NASA is bouncing around trying to figure how the politics is going to figure into this and how they they are going to explain this sanfu. The days of the Steely-eyed missile men are long gone. Now it just PR BS and landing tins cans on the moon that can't stand up while the Chinese are landing space ships on the dark side of the moon and collecting samples. All the while the critics are jumping on Elon Musk because they don't like his personality or the way he does business. Let's see we can no longer build ships, planes, submarines, rocket ships, or anything else without having to worry about somebodies feelings or some fish. Well folks grab some popcorn, tighten your seat belt and watch the demise of a once great country into a 3rd world backwater swamp.
