1) capsule (Japan), an electronic duo on their own label, Contemode.
2) Capsule (Miami, Florida), a hardcore/screamo band currently signed to Robotic Empire.

1) capsule is an electronic duo, formed in Kanazawa, Japan in 1997 by Yasutaka Nakata (co-producer, art director) and Toshiko Koshijima (vocals). They are part of the shibuya-kei movement that started in 1990, most notably by Pizzicato Five. In March of 2001, they made their first single with Yamaha Music, 'Sakura'. Their music contains elements of bossa nova, ye-ye, nu jazz, lounge, breakbeat, and most recently, electro house. In 2003, Yasutaka created his own label, Contemode, and has produced other artists on the label, such as Perfume, COLTEMONIKHA, NAGISA COSMETIC and Meg. Nakata has described the music produced by Contemode acts as "an accessory to fashion", and the band's music can often be found for sale in fashion boutiques in Shibuya, Japan.

2) Capsule is a hardcore band from Miami Beach. Started in 2004 by Eric Hernandez & Colin Smith, the band tours the United States frequently. They released a couple records on Dippy Records and in 2008, Robotic Empire released the critically acclaimed “Blue” on 12” vinyl and CD.

Overall Meaning

Since "SPACE" by Capsule is an instrumental song, the lyrics do not convey any literal meaning. However, listeners can interpret and feel the emotions conveyed through the melody, rhythm, and beat. The song's title "SPACE" implies a sense of vastness, mystery, and exploration. The music's intergalactic and futuristic vibe gives an impression of a new journey of discovery, away from mundane life.

The song's opening sequence features a cosmic synthesizer hook, followed by a strong bassline and drum beats that give an upbeat feeling. The melody creates an atmosphere of adventure and excitement, reminiscent of a space mission. It has a high tempo and playful rhythm, conveying fast-paced progress and movement. As the song progresses, the melody jumps and shifts, adding layer upon layer of sounds, creating a dynamic composition that immerses the listener in a world of limitless possibilities.

The problem is simply that companies like Boeing, Lockheed, etc are so invested in politics that they own all of the oversight and know that they will always have a seat at the table whenever a bid comes up and will never be blocked from consideration for failing to deliver. Over budget and behind schedule is standard operating procedure and the people who could put a stop to it won't because they'll get primaried in their next election if they do.

In the true spirit of government programs, the Starliner (specifically designed to work with the ISS) will be ready to use 4 months before the ISS is decommissioned. Then the replacement space station will be designed to work with the Starliner. However, the new space station will be ready 5 months before the Starliner is decommissioned.

The best thing Starliner has done for the US, is to reaffirm that bloated old legacy corps are slow, costly, and lacking innovation. Boeing received almost double the funding as SpaceX, around $5 billion, had decades of experience building spacecraft, and yet nearly 10 years later, they've still not launched a single astronaut. We do need multiple launch systems for flexibility and assured access to space, but damn if SpaceX doesn't fly circles around absolutely everyone else in aerospace.

@Kainis80

24w↑11

This is because an actual businessman that isn't interested in bureaucracy is leading the charge, to the point of actually engineering on the floor of the "shop" himself if things get backed up. This is opposed to the suits in most every other legacy corporation who would rather golf with politicians than do their damned jobs.

@i-love-space390

24w↑2

#1 - SpaceX already had taken several billion of taxpayer money to build Cargo Dragon 1. That gave them legacy hardware to build on, so they had a head start building Manned Dragon 2, and so they needed less money than a company starting from scratch.
#2- Boeing had not built a manned spacecraft for over 30 years. All engineers from that effort have retired, and all institutional knowledge was way outdated. So the money issue is bogus.
I think a more important issue is that Boeing failed to invest enough resources in the project. Also, like on their airliners, they subcontract too many systems. For instance, the Service Module issues with thruster valves are all on Rocketdyne. Software wise, Boeing is not doing too well.
I agree that Boeing has dropped the ball. But Dreamliner is barely now getting ready, and it is only a cargo ship.
So NASA really didn't have a better option. back in 2014.

@rgberry69

When you consider that the whole contract is just for the “command module” and the whole “get it into space” rocket part is ULA’s rocket and that’s all sorted, it’s a really poor effort on Boeing’s part.

I worked at ULA on integration of the Starliner to the Atlas V. Very early we told Boeing that dynamic pressure coming from the Starliner had crushing effects on the Centaur Upper Stage. We had launch vehicle design solutions to mitigate it, but Boeing insisted we continue with our current adapter design and they'd fix the problem on their end. They didn't. We had hardware designed, built, and tested. spent a fortune on tooling etc. They couldn't fix the problem and we had to throw out everything we'd done and start over with our launch vehicle solution we had recommended in the first place. That's that cylinder you see below the Starliner on top of the Atlas. That keeps the shock wave away from the Centaur Upper Stage. I worked at Boeing before ULA and knew people working on Starliner. I know one guy that had brought up design and production issues with management. He was kicked off the program for being a troublemaker.

Sierra Space has an unmanned Dream Chaser ready to fly.

It will be years, if ever, before they develop a manned version of Dream Chaser, although that is certainly high on their priority list. Boeing was supposed to provide Starliner as their contribution to the Orbital Reef space station, but my impression is they want to fly their six missions and get out of the space flight business all together.

At the rate at which the market value of SpaceX is growing it will in a couple of years overtake both Boeing and Airbus. Once its quite modest development cost of about $5B is paid off, Starship will become a "license to print money". None of the other existing or planned launch vehicles can deliver 10 tonnes to LEO for less than the current cost of Falcon 9, about $30M, never mind less than the designed launch cost of Starship, less than $5M! Oh, and while delivering that 10 tonnes to LEO Starship can for no additional cost deliver another 140 tonnes! Starship can deliver 10 tonnes to the MOON for less than any other existing or proposed launcher can deliver 10 tonnes to LEO. There is also a hypothetical possibility that Starship could deliver 150 tonnes to any spot on Earth in under an hour for less than the cost of using a 747 or even the Antonov An-225 Mriya, both of which would require 12 hours for delivery! It could certainly deliver over 100 passengers on a sub-orbital flight to a greater altitude than either BO's New Shepard or Virgin Galactic can deliver 7 passengers.

Boeing has already been paid for six flights to the ISS and NASA will probably oblige them by not paying for any additional Crew Dragon flights beyond current contracts in order to exploit those FREE missions. Those 6 missions will still cost Boeing at least $1.5 billion in payments to ULA for delivery to LEO. Why should NASA continue to subsidize Boeing beyond that when each additional flight by Shitliner beyond those 6 would cost them $50M more than SpaceX charges for the same service. There is far more value to NASA subsidizing the Sierra Dreamchaser which can move cargo more efficiently. Also SpaceX does not need any more missions to the ISS because it already has a lock on cargo and personnel transport to the commercial Axiom space station which will replace ISS. What good are Boeing's crew transport contracts or NGs Cygnus cargo contracts to the ISS when there is no ISS in 7 years? Further note that the only reason the ISS is in its inefficient 51.6° inclination orbit was to permit the use of Soyuz and Progress spacecraft to supply it. The Chinese Tiangong space station is at only 41.47°. The ideal inclination for US stations is the latitude of Cape Canaveral 28.5°! With any western replacement space station SpaceX will be able to deliver 100 tonnes of cargo or a dozen astronauts and 80 tonnes of cargo for less than any other proposed launcher. And since all western replacement space stations are to be privately operated, European, Canadian, and American politicians will not be able to demand that their "friends" get contracts.

@ChatGPT1111

Rather the timing was likely the worst case time to have the abort to occur to test out the system in the most difficult point in the launch.

It sounds to me like Boeing has some serious quality control issues. Not only as shown in this video with the Starliner's numerous delays due to things they ought to have made sure worked, but also with several of their key commercial products, like the 737MAX as mentioned here... and let's not forget the Boeing 787 Dreamliner; Q/C issues due to unskilled staff assembling them, faults with their batteries, structural concerns, etc...

As well, the whole thing mentioned in this video about the wiring that became flammable in a high-oxygen environment, you Boeing would think of that, as that caused the loss of Apollo 1 back in the 1960's, which led to North American Aviation and Rockwell taking a step back and re-thinking their Apollo capsules. Interestingly, North American Aviation and Rockwell both became part of Boeing!

Commercial Crew was not a "space race" of any kind. NASA learned, at least, that having 1 vehicle to fly crew would be bad if it was grounded (see STS-107). Commercial Crew spacecraft are partners; NASA wanted redundancy, not superiority. Each ship can also technically fly on its counterpart launch vehicle. All other points about Boeing's ineptitude, lack of verification and integration testing are accurate.

SpaceX must have discovered the "secret sauce" in their architecture that Boeing has yet to discover. Endless fixes and upgrades to a flawed design may lead nowhere unfortunately. They never talk about the number of engineers who have to work with forced overtime on projects like this. After so long, there's the inevitable burn out of personnel and people start looking for another employer in order to save their physical and mental health.

@Oldman5261

I am confused. You indicated that in early in 2020 NASA identified 80 issues which needed to be corrected for Starliner to proceed. Why wasn’t the parachute attachment and flammable tape issues identified back then? Also the pad abort launch was deemed a success with only two of the three parachutes fully deployed. You indicated that that was the minimum acceptable requirement. I assume that the same yoke parachute attachment was used. Why was it deemed unsafe later on? Also I assume the same problematic tape was used for the successful docking launch. Why was this not identified years earlier? Sounds to me like NASA shares some of the blame in this fiasco.

@k1productions87

24w↑1

NASA instead focused on its already operational spacecraft (the Orion MPCV), and it now operational booster (SLS).

Its funny, now that SLS has flown successfully, I don't see anyone making videos about it anymore. Probably because it isn't sexy to talk about craft that are actually working. Better to complain about the ones that aren't, and blame NASA for it. I notice barely anyone blames Congress for basically forcing NASA to fund Boeing's Starliner in the first place. They lost the competition, yet still got the contract.
