I wonder if Elon Musk and SpaceX will have to send up a rescue craft to save the Astronauts that are up there.

It's actually pretty hard to keep helium from leaking

There are Helium leaks and there are HELIUM LEAKS.

I'm assuming that Boeing is dealing with the former.

They sent the thing up even with concerns about leaks before it even took off? The crew must be expendable; straight white guys?

How is that DEI program working for Boeing’s assembly and quality control teams?

The team took some time to assess the issue before launching the capsule, but eventually Boeing and NASA decided to proceed with flying the crew on the leaky Starliner spacecraft without resolving the problem.

That reads like the Go-NoGo decision to send them up was a roll of the dice. If the capsule leaks like that now, is it safe for the crew to return in it given the stresses it will undergo during re-entry?

NASA is too busy on DEI stuff and reaching out to moozlums. Anyone who questions these government employees is obviously creating an insurrection against “democracy”. Arrest someone...anyone.

I have been readying to run tests on this problem this week. There are more issues not mentioned in this article. We (NASA contractors) are not impressed with what we have heard so far.

this space “company” with an unfixed leak was
guessed to have the number of leaks increase,
along with the coverup if necessary (as both have been)

What’s Boeing’s standard? Under ten leaks it’s a go?

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!

The difference between SpaceX and Boeing is that Elon doesn’t hire based on diversity quotas. He hires only geniuses, according to him.

With everyone taking those leaks, the capsule must stink pretty badly...
