In recent years, Boeing has not had a good time, and the quality problems of a single Boeing 737 MAX aircraft have emerged one after another, such as a series of safety accidents in various aspects, such as landing gear falling off, falling cabin doors, deoxygenation masks falling off, and aircraft wheels falling off.
Of course, this is all in the past, but in the last week, they have had another bad thing that has made Boeing even worse.
The first one: another Boeing 737 almost crashed, and the tail was seriously damaged
According to US media reports on June 15: A Boeing 737 Max 8 passenger plane of Southwest Airlines in the United States was flying from Phoenix, Arizona, to Oakland, California on May 25, when a Dutch roll occurred in the air, resulting in "severe" damage to the tail.
Fortunately, the pilot's high skills, excellent psychological quality, and timely and proper handling of the problem finally ensured that the plane landed safely at the airport, and the 176 passengers and 5 crew members on board were not injured.

Foreign media also reported that the plane was at an altitude of about 34,000 feet at the time of the accident. More than 10,000 meters, do you say scary or not? It is conceivable that if the pilots at such a high altitude do not control the aircraft well, they will disintegrate in the air, be crushed to pieces, and no one will want to live.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it was working with Boeing and the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate the matter.
Recently, Boeing is indeed a bit back, with huge income, and the Boeing Starship, which was thinking of making money, barely connected to the International Space Station, was immediately exposed to five helium leaks.
The second thing: the starship has postponed its return, and the time is far away
On June 5, the Boeing Starship finally reached the International Space Station with great difficulty, but the day of return was far away.
Earlier, NASA and Boeing announced that the date of the return of the Starliner spacecraft to Earth from the International Space Station was postponed from the original 14th to the 18th. But on the 18th, Boeing did not turn the goal into reality.
Astronauts on the International Space Station are said to be working around the clock to repair the Boeing Starship, hoping to get the spacecraft back to Earth in the shortest possible time.
So, what went wrong with the Boeing Starship?
One is that 5 of Starship's 28 thrusters are out of order. However, Boeing claims to have repaired four. But will the unrepaired one delay the launch? And he said it was repaired, but was it actually repaired? I guess they don't even have the bottom of their own hearts.
Second, after the docking of the "Starliner" spacecraft with the International Space Station, a new problem was discovered, a "tricky" oxidizer separation valve failure.
Third, after the helium leak was discovered, NASA shut down the helium manifold in the propulsion system after docking to stop the leak. But when returning, they must be turned on in order to use the spacecraft's thrusters for dedocking and deorbiting.
Fourth, helium leakage. And Starship helium leaks not just one, but a total of five.
The ship is being repaired
This is really called the house leak happened to rain overnight, and blood mold was poured.
It should be the above reasons that cause the starship to lie in space now, not knowing when it will return to Earth.
The third piece: the International Space Station has a US astronaut apparently killed
NASA 12 accidentally leaked a real-time recording from the International Space Station, showing that the American astronauts were suspected of having a potentially fatal emergency at the time.
This audio shows that there are US astronauts on the International Space Station who are suspected of being in mortal danger due to sudden changes in atmospheric pressure. At that time, according to the information transmitted by the audio, the crew was checking the astronaut's pulse and giving him oxygen.
The audio was subsequently withdrawn, and NASA responded afterwards that the audio was accidentally broadcast by mistake as a simulation drill to deal with various emergencies. There were no emergencies on the actual space station, and all crew members were in good health and were about to embark on a full-scale spacewalk.
This thing is a bit interesting, since it is the International Space Station, if there is a sudden change in atmospheric pressure, will everyone in the space station be affected? Even if the astronauts of other countries such as Great Russia are not affected, the American astronauts in the same cabin will certainly encounter the same situation.
The recording shows someone else having an emergency, not everyone. That's why someone instructed someone to check his pulse and help deliver oxygen to him.
So, why is everyone else okay? Linked to NASA's statement that "a full-scale spacewalk is about to take place", it is speculated that it may be that during the spacewalk exercise, some of the people who were about to go out encountered this kind of emergency in another independent warehouse, or it may be that the spacesuit on the body was leaked.

As for NASA's so-called false alarms and simulation exercises, it is basically certain that they are just nonsense and trying to cover them up.
People will say, this is not Boeing's business, how do you go to this point?
Think about it, what is the purpose of a spacewalk at this time? Many experts believe that the Boeing Starship is being repaired in preparation for its return to Earth. If it wasn't for the repair of the Boeing spacecraft, how could such a dangerous situation occur?
From this point of view, is there anything to do with Boeing? Things have to be looked at in isolation, and you can never get the right answer.
Write at the end
Boeing is really eventful right now! It's all problems from top to bottom, and it's almost terminally ill. If the Boeing Starship can be returned to the ground safely and unmistakably, it will be a burning of incense, at least it will not be a shame!
Do you think I'm right?
