Gotta feel a little for the Boeing engineers. I know its space travel and any mistake can compromise everything you've worked for, but the amount if work collectively put into this only to get canceled right before the finish line must hurt.

I dunno. A lot of people messed up. Across the board. A successful landing doesn't change any of the previous failures that led to NASA pulling the plug.

Flight software, test planning, program management, root cause analysis, systems engineering / requirements management, material sourcing, simulations, etc.
