It’s a joke, mate - a joke on Boeing, not on NASA.

I figured as much, but I see Boeing getting slagged unfairly because of the door-patch and Max8 issues. Last week, a tire blew on a 20 year-old 767. The headline claimed that "Boeing plane loses a wheel" on takeoff -- when it's obviously a maintenance issue. My criticism is more against the media than your post, in that sense.
