On: Boeing Starliner launches first crewed mission

Why does someone always do this in a thread about space stuff?

Without fail there's always some negative Nelly who already knows the answer to their downer question.

We get it. You don't care about space shit, most people don't. But why go derail a thread about a space accomplishment with negativity?

Is there much practical reason for that?

This stuff has predated Elon Musk.

I think it's part contrarianness and part cognitive deficiency where some people can't properly reason about things on these scales.
