Outside of maybe Boeing "who cares..." isn't a valid answer in engineering.

    It's an interesting engineering question, not a slight. Obviously the primary mission was successful, in spite of anomalies (good system design!), but people are and should be curious about this aspect.

      There’s a bunch of people crapping on you who clearly haven’t been through a flight test campaigns. 100% with you. The teams I’ve worked with would be celebrating and trying to figure out what’s burning at the same time. And especially trying to figure out if there’s anything that they need to do to collect evidence for that investigation (eg zooming the remote PTZ cameras in on specific areas or things like that)

        Just to be clear, I never suggest that the teams actually working on this wouldn't look into it. I was talking about people who were watching and were happy.

  It's a prototype.

    That's why it's not a catastrophe that something was unexpectedly on fire, not a reason to dismiss the question.

    So the whole purpose of it is to identify issues to be resolved.
