NASA and Boeing engineers are troubleshooting various faults in the Starliner spacecraft. But with only 45 days of docking time available, the window for return is closing.

They are going to need to get SpaceX up there to rescue the astronauts. :)

The next Starship/SuperHeavy Booster launch could be altered to save some astronauts. I would trust a SpaceX test flight much more.

Nobody’s stranded. Plenty of Dragon 2and Soyuz available. I wouldn’t trust Boeing anymore.

But the computer analyses said it was ok to send people to the ISS. I wonder if this was the same computers that said the software for the 737 MAX was OK for passenger service?

Helium can leak through welds that are impervious to other gases (and all liquids) because it is such a small atom. Helium is often used to test the integrity of welds in tanks. The detectors literally measure the leakage in the number of atoms passing through unimaginably small voids in the welds. Usually not a big deal.

It’s dead, Jim.

Sounds like the Boeing Starliner blueprints have USSR stamped on it from their early crafts.

Boeing ain’t what it used to be...

If SpaceX has to rescue these people, Boeing’s space program is over.

They are delibertaly finding fault and publicizing it heavily to get back at Musk for becoming politically active.
