As much as this article "seems" to be "negative", I see this as a "positive" for the design. The negative - the structure failed just below the 1.5X limit load - the positive - this thing was instrumented out the ass so the engineers have plenty of data to make the appropriate design changes to finish off the certification "by analysis".

The B737 is not an "inherently" unstable aircraft. That is a myth that needs to be put to bed. People keep repeating so often that it becomes in-grained as "truth". If you want to hear a NO BS layman's version of this incident I highly recommend watching this guy's channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM0V7zEKEQ&list=PL6SYmp3qb3uPp1DS7fDy7I6y11MIMgnbO&index=11&t=0s

This dude's compound (as I call it) it less than 2 miles from my home. He's got several business jets and helicopters over there. Owns thousands of acres of land next to Eagle Mountain lake. The tele - evangelist business must be good. He's been doing it for over 30 years.

I think the delays getting this beast in the air and the advances made by launch providers (e.g. SpaceX and Electron) have doomed this system for launching satellites. I believe history will view this as the "spruce goose" of the 21st century. I could be wrong and I hope that I am. It just ain't looking good for these guys.
