Somehow I missed what out of this world happened to result in some people stranded in space, and I thought it'd be fun/interesting to see how others describe what led to it.

Boeing cut a bunch of corners on safety and oversight so the executives could have a few more million in their bank accounts and they rolled out a space capsule that leaks and doesn’t work well enough for NASA to trust it.

Also people died on their planes for the same reason and they allegedly killed a whistleblower who was warning everyone about it. So. Y’know. Sort of a long series of faceplants in the service of corporate greed.

Don't forget their freaking stock buybacks.

Ah yes, the whistleblower that said that he wasn't going to kill himself,then turned up dead from apparent suicide. That whistleblower.
