We really don't. We can barely make it to orbit. Boeing is failing at even doing that.
It's like saying your grandpa can climb Mount Everest because he can shamble to the local tesco. It's not even close.
this is straight up nonsense. we get into orbit just fine, ISS has been operating for decades. Going beyond that is only a matter of political will, not a limit of tech or engineering. In fact they are working on Artemis to go back to the moon right now, and Mars after that.
and i actually disagree with the person above that we can go to mars right now. there are issues they need to figure out, but they are solvable problems. This isn’t like cold fusion that is 30 years away from being 30 years away.
also boeing isn’t representative of the aerospace industry or even just NASA. They are mismanaged and negligent. they can’t even build airplanes, never mind spacecraft.
Yeah, who's willing to murder a bunch of hapless astronauts?
Tell that to NASA.
pure ignorance.
what does this even mean? NASA knows, that's why they didn't let Boeing take astronauts back. NASA had concerns and acted accordingly, as a competent organization should.
