Starliner is stuck until 2022 at least! Will it ever be safe for humans?

If not, why is NASA ignoring the obvious solution?

NOTE: The first three minutes of this video are a parody work of fiction. Any similarities to persons or characters living or dead are purely coincidental.

It boils down to the BE-4 engine which Tony Bruno at ULA is betting the farm on.

Many dot gov platforms are now hosted on Amazon Web Services cloud systems. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Starliner has nothing to do with Blue Origin. Starliner is Boeing. And yes, they are stuck 2022 at the earliest.

Wohm ever the guy is in this video tight off the bat I find he is incorrect. He said he was born when the U.S first walked on the moon and then returned.

But this first was not the last for NASA. The United States would go on to complete six crewed missions to the moon that landed a total of 12 astronauts (all men) from 1969 to 1972 in a series of Apollo missions numbering up to Apollo 17. The only mission that failed to reach the moon’s surface was Apollo 13, which suffered a critical power and oxygen failure mid-flight, and was forced to make a heroic emergency reentry.

Jeff Bezos might be getting all of these contracts because he also owns the Washington Post, the paper read by most of the Washington Establishment.
