Both in air and in space,
Boeing seems to be a disgrace.

I didn't mean for that to rhyme,
but it happens all the time.

Starliner will not be abandoned soon.

Simply making it to the ISS intact is a major accomplishment.

Lots of money in its development.

How are those DEI programs and hiring based on skin color, and not merit, working out for Boeing?

I know. Musk returns the Boeing crew to earth, then buys the inert spacecraft in place for pennies on the dollar, fixes it, and returns it to earth. Musk walks away with whatever passes for Boeing technology and a gold star for rescuing the Boeing crew. Win, win.

Boeing should just hand the keys over to Elon. Their Jack Welch-inspired strategy of manufacturing financial bullshit instead of aircraft has failed.

SpaceX May Have to Rescue NASA Astronauts Stranded in the International Space Station Due to Boeing Starliner’s Multiple Helium Leaks

They should have been smarter than to take a "job" at NASA.

Dragon will be free to rescue them when its current schedule is used up some time in the next year or two.

SpaceX just launched a GOES today I think? Going to look into when they will be getting a Dragon ready to send up.

That was kind of the plot of a 1969 film called Marooned , great cast in that.
Gene Hackman, James Franciscus, Richard Crenna, and Gregory Peck.

Boeing, which has spent about $1.5 billion in cost overruns — beyond its initial $4.5 billion contract with NASA

Boeing is unionized. Does SpaceX have a union?

NASA officials detected there was a Helium leak when the astronauts voice changed and they sounded like the “Chipmunks”.

I don’t understand why the magnitude of the helium leak issues didn’t manifest on the uncrewed capsule they sent up. What’s so different about this one?
