+4 +1Boeing Starliner fails mission, can't reach space station after flying into wrong orbit
Boeing’s spacecraft Starliner, developed to fly astronauts, failed to achieve the goal of its critical flight test for NASA, which launched to space on Friday. Starliner was supposed to fly to the International Space Station (ISS), deliver cargo, and return safely – to demonstrate its capabilities and safety. But the spacecraft will not dock with the space station after its autonomous flight control system misfired shortly after the launch, putting Starliner in the wrong orbit.

+25 +3Boeing Pilots Detected 737 Max Flight Control Glitch 2 Years Before Deadly Crash
New evidence indicates that Boeing pilots knew about "egregious" problems with the 737 Max airplane three years ago, but federal regulators were not told about them. Investigators say the plane's new flight control system, called MCAS, is at least partially to blame for 737 Max crashes in Indonesia in 2018 and Ethiopia this year that killed 346 people. Acting on data from a single, faulty angle-of-attack sensor, MCAS repeatedly forced both planes into nosedives as the pilots struggled, but failed to regain control.
