5 leaks. The leaks must be diverse in nature.
5 leaks. 1 leak each from each marginalized group.
I don’t see why not. The Crew Dragon is designed to carry four people , but only two are required to fly it. It just depends on how quickly they can switch out a current payload to Dragon capsule.
There is a Crew Dragan Module docked at the space station now. If needed the two stranded crew members can hitch a ride back with them.
My own take is that someone, or some group, is shorting Boeing stock.
Or - a hostile foreign country is deliberately disrupting business at Boeing because Boeing is the second largest USA defense contractor.
The amount of detailed information that is instantly released about Boeing planes and the Boeing ISS Shuttle is completely unprecedented.
This all started with the four Muslim pilots who crashed two Boeing 737 MAX planes in Ethiopia and Indonesia.
Before those two crashes, the exact same plane flew 60,000 flights in Europe, North America, Aus-NZ, Japan, and the Persian Gulf, without even one incident report concerning the software that allegedly killed several hundred people.
Starliner burns monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide.
Crew Dragon 2 can hold 7 passengers.
Is helium more "leaky" because its most common isotope, two protons and two neutrons, is so small?
That’s my understanding. Like hydrogen molecules.
I know.
But burning hydrazine contradicts the author’s statement “Helium is used in the spacecraft’s thruster systems to allow the thrusters to fire without being combustible or toxic.”
there was a strange noise in the front of the truck and a thump-thump-thump that shook the cab.
My mom did that with her 1981 Monte Carlo one winter/spring day. Same thing, except the cat was cut up, but still alive. She put it in the car, took it to the vet, and saved its life. Tom, as he was later named, became a garage kitty for the rest of his life. She also started knocking on the hood 3-4 times as she walked to the drivers door to get in, to wake up and scare any kitties (or other animals) that crawled in the compartment for warmth.
“Remember: This Equipment Was Provided By The Lowest Bidder”
Not for Boeing and NASA. It was awarded to the highest bidder with the most diverse workplace and the most politically connected.
I would love to know how helium keeps them from being toxic. And I would like to know ‘toxic to what? They are only fired in a vacuum.
Deploy the MuskPod and get ‘em back home quick. The ISS is also an orbiting disaster waiting to happen, way past its operating expiry.
Unused propellant when the spacecraft comes back to earth is toxic to ground crews. That is why you always saw Shuttle ground crews in full hazmat suits.
If we only had 1960s technology and those black women geniuses to do all the math for our space missions, we’d be soooo much better off!
