Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by star61: [B]<BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Accurate weight and CG measurements are critical to the nominal performance of both the entire integrated spacecraft and launch vehicle during ascent and the spacecraft during on-orbit maneuvers and reentry.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> The center of gravity seems to have pretty tight parameters. I hope Boeing are aware that a crew will be on board. A crew that has mass and moves! Facetious maybe, but overall not impressed with Boeing. The problems in their civil aviation sector seem to be present in their space business. I mean, flammable tape? parachute straps that don't work? I presume they have heard of Apollo. As for the requirement for a more flexible and advanced spacecraft than Crew Dragon, just what else is there to do in LEO? Rendezvous, docking, orbital plane and altitude changes... been there, done that 50+ years ago.[/B][/QUOTE]
