[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 1101059, member: 71262"] I just happened to watch the whole press conference last night on CNN. They actually said the landing itself was flawless and hit the target's bullseye. Some thrusters failed on the service module on several occasions, which separates and burns up on re-entry. And 1 or 2 thrusters on the capsule itself also failed on maneuver away from ISS. Aside from Boeing's cost overruns and the sub-contractor's thruster issues, NASA considers their overall program a huge success. Boeing still operates on the old contractor/subcontractor model, whereas Cuckoo Musk's SpaceX operates vertically, designing and building everything in-house. Boeing may just get out of space flight game altogether. [/QUOTE]
