That's just damned sad.
Side note: we have a Prayer Group in our company (a Boeing competitor), that meets once a week to lift our company up in prayer, and we have begun praying fervently for Boeing - her collapse is bad for our industry and our country,
Only so many holes to dock with.
How’s that focus on moozlum outreach working for NASA? That and DEI are really a winning combination apparently. NASA has become a job’s program with accompanying expected results.
That’s my whole life story right there...................😏
Put them in spacesuits(if they have working ones) and let them come back on a cargo dragon
A traffic jam in space...SMH
I dunno. Occupying a docking bay for three months... What are they going to learn about Starliner’s condition and exploring solutions for a safe return that they haven’t learned already? Why not bring the Starliner back to earth and study its remains here? Then contract with SpaceX (or the Russians or whoever can) to bring the crew home safely?
This crew may end up beating the space time record of 437 days... Like... Awesome for them... They get to hangout in space.
The longer Starliner stays the worst it will get
Incredible. Can’t they hitch a ride with Crew 8 returning soon? That sounds like a full house already but good grief, make room for them. I would have gone stir crazy long before now...
The reports yesterday are that the capsule not only cannot return unmanned, but cannot be detached from the space station unless there is a crew member inside at the controls
The situation boils down to an engineering quandry......

Why not bring the Starliner back to earth and study its remains here?
I think that’s the problem.
They can‘t. The Boeing junk ain’t going. It’s broke, Jim.
There’s still the question of what to do with the Boeing craft.
It can’t un-dock itself. It has to have a person onboard to initiate the controls.
SpaceX can’t arrive until it’s gone......................
SpaceX will get a de-orbit contract for Starliner as well ?
The astronauts should hold out for a safer ride home. Down is the hard part.
😂👍
Send up 250 miles of rope.....................
I don’t know.
What I think I know is that there is far more going on here than meets the eye
