Elon Musk Lauds New Boeing CEO After NASA Picks SpaceX To Return Starliner Crew: 'This Is The Right Thing To Do'
Elon Musk Lauds New Boeing CEO After NASA Picks SpaceX To Return Starliner Crew: 'This Is The Right Thing To Do'
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Saturday expressed optimism for rival rocket maker Boeing Space (NYSE:BA) under its new CEO, hours after NASA announced that the astronauts who went to space aboard Boeing's Starliner would return via a SpaceX vehicle.
SpaceX CEO伊隆·马斯克周六表示对竞争对手波音空间 (纽交所:BA)的新CEO表示乐观,此前美国宇航局宣布,搭乘波音“星队”太空船的宇航员将通过spacex的飞船返回地球。
What Happened: "The new Boeing CEO is spending time in the factories. That is the right thing to do," Musk said. The new Boeing CEO, Kelly Ortberg, took the reins of the company from Dave Calhoun earlier this month. Ortberg then said that he would be based in Seattle, close to the company's manufacturing facilities in Renton.
发生了什么:“新的波音CEO正在工厂里花时间。这样做是正确的,”马斯克表示。新的波音CEO凯利·奥特伯格(Kelly Ortberg)于本月早些时候接替了戴夫·卡尔霍恩(Dave Calhoun)的公司领导。奥特伯格随后表示他将驻扎在西雅图,靠近雷登(Renton)的制造设施。

Musk's comment on Boeing comes hours after NASA announced that it would return the two astronauts who went to space via Boeing's Starliner spacecraft- Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore- via a SpaceX vehicle in February. The Starliner spacecraft would return to Earth by itself in early September, the agency said, citing its commitment to safety.
在美国宇航局宣布将通过spacex的飞船返回太空中搭乘波音“星队”太空船的两名宇航员——苏尼塔·威廉姆斯和布奇·威尔莫尔——之后不久,马斯克就对波音发表了评论。太空船“星队”将于2月经spacex飞船返回地球。据该机构称,太空船“星队”将于9月初独自返回地球,以确保安全。
Why It Matters: Williams and Wilmore launched into space on June 5 aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Though the two were supposed to return in about eight days, technical issues identified with the spacecraft while docking delayed the return journey.
为何重要:威廉姆斯和威尔莫尔于6月5日乘坐波音“星队”太空船进入太空。尽管两人本应在大约八天内返回,但由于太空船对接时发现技术问题,延迟了返回之旅。
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has been marred by several delays since the start. The spacecraft was supposed to have its first uncrewed test flight in 2015 which was delayed up to 2019. The spacecraft then failed to achieve its intended orbit. In 2022, the spacecraft completed its first successful uncrewed flight to the International Space Station.
自成立以来,波音“星队”太空船一直备受延误困扰。该太空船原定于2015年进行首次无人试飞,但一直延迟到2019年。该太空船随后未能实现预期轨道。2022年,该太空船完成了首次成功的无人飞行,前往国际空间站。
Musk in May pegged the delay at Boeing on "too many non-technical managers" at the company, reiterating his opinion that manufacturing companies should have engineers at the management level.
马斯克在五月份指出了波音的延误问题,称公司中有“太多非技术经理”,重申他的观点,即制造公司应该在管理层有工程师。
