Boeing 737 MAX total program budget (excluding older 737 models): > $180B
Why are you comparing the budget of one single spacecraft with an entire production run of a model of airplane? That's not a reasonable comparison.
Yeah its too fair to boing because they are not sending shit tp fucking space
Because Boeing should have economy of scale benefits by selling $180B worth of aircraft, while Apollo 13 was a bespoke, single-use, cutting-edge spacecraft on a much smaller budget.
Wendover's video on Boeing - it's easy to see how costs spiral under their model, plus it's nice to see Sam - probably one of the biggest aviation geeks around - put the boot into Boeing.
A good waste of 20+ mins.
put the boot into Boeing
Sounds risky, might break a foot, he should've used a brick instead.
Not to mention Apollo program invented a lot of new stuff never before seen, let alone used.
That explains how Boeing could afford 22 characters while NASA had to make do with 3.
What's the "No!" Button do?
I believe it was a stage separation, so the No! was to keep them from accidently pressing it early.
Hmmm... I wonder if this technique would help me in KSP if I put a big "NO!" over the spacebar 🤔
Don't ask, don't tell.
Of note is that if this is the command module, it was built by Rockwell, parts of which eventually become Boeing. So the stickies track.
Apollo 13 budget: ~ $2.8B in 2023 usd
