Nothing new to talk about; it’d just be idle speculation.  Give the investigation time.

“Boeing is done for the next couple of decades.”

Apparently, Spirit identified a deficiency that needed to be corrected. This required removal of the door plug. Since the fuselage had been delivered to Boeing, by the rules, Boeing’s technicians would have been responsible for removing and reinstalling the plug. However, it seems this action was not properly…

It’s awfully telling that it still works even if you don’t pay for the subscription.  Now *why* would they be paying for that network even if a very large proportion of the users aren’t ponying up subscription fees, hmmm??  I wonder.....

They’ve been working on a new spacecraft for years, but it’s mired in delays. Orel is the latest iteration of what’s meant to be the next generation crewed Russian spacecraft, and honestly, at this point, I’d say your guess is as good as mine whether or not it’ll ever actually fly.  The latest I’ve heard is that it…

1) Dream Chaser would need a lot more than having seats added. It would need life support added as well, for one thing. (The crewed version was never completed, for what it’s worth. They lost the downselect before the design process was complete.)

IIRC, there are either two or three Starliners.  That’s intended to be the entire fleet.  They could build more, but it’s not likely they would need to.  Even for a follow-on commercial space station, I doubt the flight rate would require more units.

They have already spent a billion dollars of their own money on it, which is staggering.  But if they can fly it after ISS, they may yet recoup the investment, and that’s always been their real goal.  How realistic is that at this point?  I don’t know.  It probably depends on whether the commercial space stations…

Glad to see a timeframe.

Cancelling Chandra would be disastrous; there’s no replacement in the wings, and while there are other X-ray observatories, they’re not equivalent. It’s in good health; it should be kept operational.

“he also unintentionally helped create one of the most unsanitized children’s programs in history”

Thank goodness those tankers were empty.  Could’ve been so much worse.

Down, girl!

Oh, that would be great! I love Moffatt’s Christmas specials so much more than RTD’s, to be honest. ;-) I mean, I like RTD’s as well -- they’re great fun -- but Moffatt really nails the Christmas spirit.

Splitting producer and script editor was how it was done back in the Classic Who days. Even the script editor didn’t actually write any of the stories, with one exception: Douglas Adams gave into the temptation. Under exigent circumstances, a script editor might step in to finish an uncompleted script, and he and…

You’re definitely not alone. I loved Moffatt’s run. His first season was superb — possibly the most tightly crafted story arc in the entire run of Doctor Who. Some of his later seasons made me think maybe recapturing that magic in a bottle was a mistake; not all seasons need to be perfect arcs, and I was glad that…

Woot!  I cannot wait to see it!  :-)

No they don’t, and that’s why I think the policy only applies to employees currently living within commute range of a Dell facility. (So I guess the question is whether or not they were smart enough to write it to prevent remote employees relocating themselves out of range of the policy?)

Yeah, I’m just surprised they chose lead instead of another metal, since it limits what countries they could export it to. (The restrictions on lead solder in electronics — including but not limited to printed circuit boards — is derived from environmental regulations in Europe, and those regulations aren’t limited to…

Oh, they’ll be fine.  They have ARGUMENTS all set for that!  And I’m sure they’ll all work out just fine!  :-D
