Wonderful. Given my recent experiences with the quality of Chrysler products, it should set the space program back by about 15 years.

Well, Chrysler was the prime contractor for the Saturn I [Earth orbit] and Saturn V [Lunar Orbit] booster rockets - but it's hardly the same company.

This might explain it further:

I have an '09 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel pickup and I am very happy with it. It has been reliable, fast, strong and got 18 mpg at 70 mph hauling about 1800 pounds of rocks today...

What future NASA spaceships? They'll need to relocate to China if they want to get any product into space in the future.

It's sad that a certain former Chrysler spokesperson isn't around to see this . . . perhaps the noise reduction will come from "rich Corinthian leather"



or perhaps, the mission success will be "a dish best served cold . . "

Hope they stow some post-warranty replacement rear hatch latches and don't get caught short with just 3 electronic tranny modules...

The problem is that the latches require a special tool only avaibale to dealers. Ditto with the fuses.

BTW they forgot to put this in the Owner's manual.

I think NASA should have taken a little ride in my old jeep before awarding that contract. I barely trust it to the corner store, never mind the moon.
