Dude has been at it since hes been at Ars lol. Not just "lately"

Do you think Berger can predict the future, or were there always signs that Boeing's space endeavours were struggling?

[–] Bangs42@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

...yes? Maybe I'm missing something. What difference does that make?

All of life's certainties:

  • The sun rises in the morning.
  • Paying taxes.
  • Humans succumbing to death.
  • Eric Berger hating on Boeing's space programs.

But Boeing is objectively doing a pretty trash job. Hating on them is pretty well earned at this point.

Im not disagreeing, but there is a noticeable lack of hate towards other space programs. Ive been reading his stuff for a long time now, and man oh man, does Boeing have a special place in his heart.

Maybe the other commercial space programs are doing better, or MAYBE they're being underreported on.

He definitely does hate on Boeing, but like I said, I think it's well deserved. For such an established giant in the industry, they have an awful lot of issues.

There's not much hate towards the newer companies, but to be fair newer companies will have new-company problems. Boeing should be long past this.

4 days later dude. Eric Berger is inspiring the next generation of haters.

1st paragraph:

NASA’s internal watchdog sharply criticized the work Boeing is doing on the next version of the Space Launch System, finding serious lapses in quality control.

They are reporting on an official report, not hating or spreading rumors/false information. Berger and Foust are two of the most respected space reporters in the world today.
