“If I see something that’s inappropriate, the key concern to me is what is the culture that led to that inappropriateness and is NASA involved in that,” “As an agency we’re not just leading ourselves, but our contractors, as well. We need to show the American public that when we put an astronaut on a rocket, they’ll be safe.”
Seeing a lot of comments around the web, rightfully asking WTF... I wonder if this has more to do with Boeing's 'Safety' feature that just killed 189 people. Spotlight seems to be on SpaceX, but maybe its actually the other way around? What are the odds of that....

That rankled some at NASA’s highest levels and prompted the agency to take a close look at the culture of the companies, the people said."
I just see extreme hypocrisy here and with NASA In generally. We can build and fly our own vehicles and ingnor the ssfety concerns of our contractors.We can fly on foriegn providers that don't measure up to what we demand of our domestic providers.I will stop here and likely get blasted, but at this point I just don't care. I am truly p.o. at what NASA is now and the aragant altitudes.KenNow back to lurking

I was thinking that in light of Boeing's screw up with the 737, Jim Bridenstine or other NASA leaders might be wanting to take a closer look at Boeing's safety culture, or whatever. They can't say anything negative about Boeing for various political reasons....but they can use SpaceX as a scapegoat to start a review of Boeing....
