tater Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 According to Eric Berger at ars technica, various cities with space industry (including my own, though I only ever see the Sunday newspaper, and missed it) have had a number of shady anti-SpaceX editorials. They were written by an old Apollo technician, supposedly, but Berger contacted him in TN, and he didn't write them. Two other guys wrote them and used his name to fraudulently submit them. They have a number of errors in them that likely anyone who keeps up with spaceflight here on this forum would spot very quickly. The fact they felt the need to publish it under a false name is obviously telling. Turns out they are written by a DC PR firm that lists Boeing as one of it's clients. (that's the only link to Boeing but they were written by a PR firm). https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/10/a-shadowy-op-ed-campaign-is-now-smearing-spacex-in-space-cities/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's the only link to Boeing but they were written by a PR firm). Not surprised at all, seeing how Boeing is promoting SLS as a "Boeing rocket" and CST-100 as the only American independent way to get humans to the International Space Station. Quote The Space Launch System (SLS) will be the most powerful rocket ever built. Through a partnership with NASA, Boeing will launch the SLS in 2019, officially marking a new era of deep space exploration. The 2019 launch, known as Exploration Mission 1, will be the first critical test for human exploration of deep space – and the first step on the larger path to Mars. The drive to explore is an essential element of human nature. It’s natural for humans to be curious about what lies beyond the horizon. Boeing is turning curiosity into action and forging a path to explore Mars. With the SLS, Boeing is at the forefront of the modern-day space race. https://watchusfly.com/innovation/ (It's a Boeing propaganda site disguised as a space blog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Comcast. Why am I not surprised? Or how about that they’re using the term “narrative” without any shred of irony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Wonder if this might be the Commercial Crew booster? IIRC they’ve said it was in the pipe even tho it’s now delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon 2 and Starliner use the IDSS ports rather than the berthing ports so the HTV delay shouldn't have had any impact on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
