That scene from Space Brothers just gets more and more likely the more we find out how badly Boing built the thing.

Then there's that autist who still thinks a particular 7-letter word is funny, when it's been in my filters for over two years now.

Maybe he could have a heart attack on the way up, that would be pretty kino. But based Mr. Conductor is the only one I would really want to not die.

The hell with that, they'll probably have to get out and help push. Sex in zero-gee is hard without something to push against.

But what could possibly have gone wrong?

Space-less third-world cope squad deployed, that's not your flag on the moon.
They're launching on one of the most reliable rockets still in service, with a fucking launch escape system (hello Shuttle), and are using a splash-down landing (so picture unrelated), and the capsule has already docked once with ISS unmanned with a perfect flight.
Meanwhile, Boing (picture related) managed to have a parachute not open on a ground abort test, and had at least three major software problems that caused its first flight to be an almost total failure. (almost because the first problem caused them to notice the third one, which could have been LoC+LoV)

And trying to touch down on land with a parachute built by Boing won't?

Boing will beat them to it when a parachute fails.

So technically this is the wrong crash (it's a test that failed before the landing that failed), but it's good enough. Boing!
