How SpaceX could end up rescuing stranded astronauts if Boeing’s Starliner can’t be fixed

Remember when some former astronauts claimed SpaceX was a dead end?

In mid-2008, all 3 of Musk's companies - SpaceX, Tesla and Solar City - were days from bankruptcy, due to the (engineered to elect Obama) "financial crisis."

Same here-—

BIDEN & GROUP WILL HAVE TO CHOKE ON THIS.

This ADMIN tried to SUE MUSK because he wasn’t hiring ILLEGALS AT SPACE X.

I would have lived to have been a fly on the wall when he pointed out to them that US LAW forbids hiring ILLEGALS on such projects.

LOVED-—not lived

Sierra Nevada (now Sierra Space) had a better design than Boeing, but lost the bid for a manned capsule.

wow, just wow

[larrytown]

This. Don’t doubt it.

that this is a POS, Boeing risked those astronaut’s life to save face. NASA should ask for a freaking refund.

Everyone and the Media obsesses about the helium leak. That is the minor problem as sufficient helium is still on board the craft. The biggie is the thrusters. Some are not working. That could smoke you.

Nobody wants a problem in space no matter how minor.....but compound problems?......I just hope they get back ok, no matter how.

If only they couldn’t “do” anything. They most often do things that hurt this country. Bureaucrats suck!

ouch!

“This ADMIN tried to SUE MUSK because he wasn’t hiring ILLEGALS AT SPACE X.”

Back around 2005, there was a software engineer at Boeing who went by the name Mr Hands. Mr Hands had a thing for horses, and made news when he bled to death from having sex with his stallion. I can’t help but think this was an early symptom of what plagues Boeing today.

What failing rocket ship company was Boeing forced to take over that is now the actual problem?

[Magnum44]

Mr Hands?

[kosciusko51]

Yep. They repurposed the manned version to be cargo only.
