EDIT: Sorry - The article was about it took 17 YEARS to work out all these bugs... So - it reminded me of the thought of the 737max bugs that boeing is plagued with right now... --- I'm really curious to know how much of all these billions we are sending out to all these wars will come back to this project? Also, in a general aviation sense, I think all planes should have a link to their service records. I think that service records should be required to be made public for ALL large transit modals; sea, air, rail, etc. A restaurant has to publicly post their health score. Thoughts --- I just thought of: there should be public data sets from the FAA with all service records for all licensed commercial aircraft - and an llm fine tuned to produce ratings and spot errors. This I think would be an epic(ly) hard thing to do, however the current Boeing Catastrophuk ESP with the 'suicide' of the Whistleblower would be good leverage to force this law. --- Actually I asked BING to GPTify this thought more succinctly, and got a pretty pretty pretty good response: For Boeing’s crash data over the last 40 years, I can provide a general overview. However, specific annual data might not be readily available in a single source. Here’s what I found: Here is every Boeing Safety event Since 1970 on the NTSB site https://www.ntsb.gov/Pages/ResultsV2.aspx?queryId=d6cc0483-0b58-4d94-8c8b-26fb79a650f9 https://www.ntsb.gov/Pages/ResultsV2.aspx?queryId=d6cc0483-0...

  Tax money spent on it. Does it effectively make every every taxpayer citizen a shareholder? Shareholders deserve to know project spending and efficiency.

    Was the money spent on the Sprint rocket interceptor spent well?

    > Shareholders deserve to know project spending and efficiency One, shareholding is a bad analogy for democracy. Two, shareholders—and voters in a republic—delegate responsibility, including the responsibility to protect secrets. Our spooks would kill for China or Russia’s air force service records, and for good reason: it lets you exploit patterns and limitations.

        vote => no accountability smells bad. As leads to misfeasance.

  Yeah, that came across to me as weird take as well. Like they have a point they really want to make, but just comes across very tone deaf to the actual conversation at hand (if not just missed/ignored). I was reading service records as what conflicts it had been in, and what it's record was during those conflicts. It took a second that they were conflating this like it was a Boeing passenger plane type of thing. oy vey! There might have been a big whooshing sound as the point flew.
