Updating the software is step one.

Successful implementation is another step—with Boeing you can take nothing for granted.

There ain’t a whole lot of those old shuttle main engines out there, just how is Boeing going to add another manned flight test to it’s schedule? My back of the envelope calculations say they have 3 of the 4 engines required.

[brownsfan]

Is Boeing too big to die? (Boeing has already failed).

[rktman]

Will it survive re-entry?

[Sirius Lee]

ISS is scheduled to be deorbited (by a souped-up SpaceX Dragon) in 2030.

Boeing may or may not be able to bring the astronauts home by then.

[Flaming Conservative]

Just off the top of my head, because I know nothing about aeronautics, it appears to me that just about everything Boeing produces is mismanaged, most likely due to good ol’ DEI.

[MtnClimber]

Go Woke, burn up on reentry.

[DesertRhino]

Thrusters have been around since the beginning of manned space flight. The idiots at Boeing can’t make a simple 60 year old technology work. And what is the problem? Software again, like the Max 8. Maybe they need to stop the silly information age crap and just do it properly.

Like I shouldn’t have to navigate a touchscreen and half a dozen drop down menus to use the radio in a car.

The bigger question is will it even return safely??????

IF it does then you can go on to your next question.

[usurper]

Plus however many millions it will take to diagnose and fix those thrusters.

Their just thrusters we've been using them since the 1950s. What idiot "Change Agent" decided to redesign them.

So much institutional knowledge has been lost in the last 20 years.

[metmom]

I’ll bet a lot of astronauts hope not.

[cableguymn]

Hope when it crashes it’s in to the ocean

[TigersEye]

Might want to get that chicken back to the hen house before they count it.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"… but Will It Ever Fly Again?"

It could fly again. But it has to want to fly again.

If it doesn't want to, then that's OK too! Every spacecraft is unique and different!

[cpdiii]

The flying Edsel returns to earth, maybe?

My question do they know why multiple thrusters failed and how many thrusters are needed to keep the capsule properly oriented for the reentry rocket burn?

[OrangeHoof]

Boeing and Biden have a lot in common. They both cost billions and can’t finish the job.

[libh8er]

Will It Ever Fly Again ?

Will it actually return ?

[CIB-173RDABN]

Boeing, another company too big to fail, failing.

What is with these large corporation that keep making bad decision yet their chief executive never seem to suffer.

[libh8er]

Boeing ...and NASA disagreed. Strongly disagreed

Well since Boeing knows all about using software to stabilize flight vehicles.. perhaps we should give this one to Boeing ?
