If you are hinting that SpaceX is better than Boeing then check again, they might be as good (or bad).
SpaceX are not bug free [1] and their development culture is far from being perfect [2]

- CheesecakeFred 7y agoAre you shilling against SpaceX, or was that worded slightly weird, or what? Bug-free is a ridiculous theoretical concept, where there are humans at work, there are bugs. As for 'perfect development culture', same thing. Ridiculous concept. There is always something to improve on. But would I personally, with my limited knowledge about Boeing and SpaceX, but with the catastrophic fails at Boeing regarding the 737 MAX in mind, judge SpaceX the more competent company in terms of management engineering skills, efficiency, to get a product as bug-free as they can without putting money before safety concerns? OF COURSE. There is no question.
