    You know folks, I spend most of my time diligently staring at my screen, drinking in the audio ambrosia foreplay that is Stephen's introduction to his Meanwhile segment. I let every phrase and nuance enter my ear canal with explicit consent. His sultry voice travels through my eardrum and massages my inner ear bones, seductively relieving them of the burden of the everyday claptrap they're used to. Finally, his voice reaches my inner core and transports me to that special place. But sometimes, sometimes folks, I want to skip the courtship dance and get straight to business so I take the mouse with my hand, move it to that dirty red line, and fast forward like I mean it until I see the "Meanwhile" logo.

      Notes/🐾corrections:
      --diligently staring at my screen-- .... "raptly magnetized to my screen" ....
      --and massages my inner ear bones,-- .... and his dulcet tones massage my inner ear bones ....
      --the everyday claptrap they're used to-- .... the everyday claptrap to which they are accustomed & by which they are nonetheless tortured ....
      --Finally, his voice reaches my inner core-- .... Then blessedly his divine comedies breach my cerebral cortex and transport my consciousness beyond nirvana.
      Okay, never mind, this is too much work trying to adapt and revise with tweaks to get to what I'd auditorily "envisioned". I quit. No wonder the spiels left the realm of delightful rollercoasters and landed in the trough of redundant doldrums and tedium long ago.
      *love me some Meanwhile* stopped loving the lead ins weeks and weeks ago. It feels like someone else is writing them than whomever wrote the first dozen. And, they are less fun/silly romps now than they are strained and affectatious indulgences.

The valve issue was in the centaur second stage, which is made by United Launch Alliance. While this is co-owned by Boeing, the management is independent, and the design comes from the Lockheed-Martin side of the partnership. That said, all the previous issues with Starliner, and the reasons that it is years late in getting to the launch pad, are all because of Boeing miscues.

      @MagnusGalactusOG...... Hi Magnus, I just wanted to add a few thoughts. First, I do NOT own Boeing stock nor do I work there, and nothing can excuse Boeing for not using the bolts to attatch the door. That is no one's fault but theirs. However, the United flight that had the tire fall off in mid air was manufactured in 2002, and should have been routinely maintained, with regularly scheduled replacements. Just as most of us have done to our everyday vehicles. Boeing planes use GE and Pratt & Whitney engines. The United flight that had the engine catch on fire was a P & W, and the reported cause was "bubble wrap being sucked into the engine". Because so many of the recent issues have involved United Airlines, the article "...FAA to take closer look at United Airlines after series of incidents involving Boeing jets...", includes a line about how trash is (not?) picked up on the tarmac by United employees. The FAA will also be contacting other airlines to review their maintenance schedules as well. It seems that the airlines would want to do this on ther own, without being told to. 🤔

    Hey Steven, love your comedy segments. They frequently brighten my day in a frustrating world. However, your Meanwhile segment about the Boeing Starliner had an error in it. It was not the Starliner capsule that had the valve malfunction. It was the launch vehicle, the Atlas V Centaur upper stage, that had that problem. It was not Boeing, but United Launch Alliance. If you invite the owner of ULA, Tori Bruno on your show I’m sure he would be happy to explain it. He has a great sense of humor. Just FYI. Love ya, Lee.
    PS, I work at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as a Communicator, so it is my job to know this stuff. I do my best to inject a little comedy into my tours, and you are an inspiration for that. And I enjoy seeing your image in the Atlantis exhibit.
