I don't understand. What would be the difference if they didn't downplay this? There'd be a massive shitstorm distracting resources at NASA and Boeing from doing their jobs and we wouldn't be any better off. How is that better for anybody? Why is handling the issue quietly worse? Let the engineers do their fucking jobs. > I'm more upset at NASA than Boeing More upset than the company that couldn't build a functioning, reliable rocket? Get a grip, dude.

  And confidence would solve the Starliner problem? Oh come on. NASA can't tell the truth because, you know, just look at the state of social media and the news today. I wouldn't want to tell anybody on HN the truth, much less your average CNN or Fox reader/viewer. You want them to tell the truth? Stop going on idiotic witch hunts first. The NTSB doesn't comment on ongoing investigations either. That's a good thing. Complete transparency only makes sense once everything has been resolved and investigated. Otherwise you have idiots on the internet chasing the flimsiest of threads and making a big stink about insignificant details.
