It is exciting to me to see a company that is willing to spend $billions$ on research and allow it to continue when it is doesn't lead to immediate profits and any visible gains.
It is depressing to work for a company that seems immune to wasting $billions$ and countless human resources wandering around lost.
When there are no consequences for failure there can be an amazing culture of innovation. There can also be a dumbfounding culture of negligence and mismanagement. Sometimes we only distinguish between the two based on survivorship bias.
- panick21_ 3y agoThis is the opposite. Because Boeing has no culture of innovation, their capsule was conservative in every choice. Slow development, bad software practices, lots of established slow contractors. That why it is expensive and behind schedule. And the are continuing to build it not because of innovation but rather because it would be an utter and complete embarassment for them to give up. They would lose all credibility as a space contractor and would have little chance to ever bid for another big NASA project again.
