    And at nineteen he was too much of a pussy to tell his old man "no"?

    No great loss to the human race.

    does your schtick get any better?

    so far you're coming across as a UA knock off with somehow even greater macho fragility issues.

    If that's who you really are, well, I guess "you go, girl!". Otherwise, maybe put a point or two more into either wisdom or charisma when you develop this character.

    How is what they did different than some Florida man getting a Darwin Award because strapping a homemade jet engine to a lawnmower can have a fatal outcome? Both are equally stupid and if you manage to pull it off without dying, you have an incredible story to tell.

    And apparently, the disaster is all because the CEO was "woke" based on a statement that he wouldn't hire 50-year old white guys with military experience.

    It could have been avoided with earlier action for sure.

    Like regulations that don't have loopholes that allow businesses to operate these vehicles without having to meet basic engineering standards.

    Also lol at UA railing about the concept of Darwin Awards. Wouldn't wish harm on anyone, especially the kid who got coerced into going down, but the dipshit CEO who led them to their doom is a textbook FAFO example of the "hold my beer" behaviour.

    The argument is these are in international waters, launching from another country. Regulatory oversight is limited to underwriters (of which I'm sure there were none).

    There are lots of uncertified vessels but these are for private use, not paying passengers. I hope the survivors sue Rush's survivors into oblivion.

    No, he was terrified and boarded anyway because of love and respect for his father who was infatuated with the Titanic. That's courage. I would have told my dad, "Cya!"

    Your schtick is pretty boring.

    In collaboration with Boeing, NASA, and U of W just ended up being "we talked to some people, and spent a little money."

    This is why corporate marketing is horseshit, and why they can get away with saying things like "our bottled water is infused with oxygen and hydrogen, for maximum hydration."

    They're not technically lying, but they're still selling you a bill of goods based on your ignorance.
    I'm glad he became sea spam.

    This whole thing is an interesting experiment in market economics.

    What happens in a new market with no regulations?

    Technically it should be a pile of tiny pieces.
