Elon needs to go rescue these people, Boeing has destroyed that company with all of their DEI BS!!!
Maybe Elon can create the space equivalent of Sea Tow?
SpaceTow!.....................I wonder if AAA covers that?...............
They can technically re-enter without suits, but it’s a violation of safety procedures. OTOH, presumably NASA or Boeing has their suit measurements somewhere, and the SpaceX folks could use those to make SpaceX compatible suits. And then they should fire the idiot who thought it was okay for Boeing and SpaceX to have incompatible suits.
they went to space for a couple of days, and they may break the space stay record!?
A three hour tour.
I went to Germany on a company installation for some equipment we sold the German AF, was supposed to be there for only a week, wound up being there 6 weeks.............
Did anything come of the briefing today? I wasn’t able to watch it and haven’t seen anything current about the problem except this which seems to leave everything still “in the air” - no pun intended...
boeing took the automated docking/undocking sequence out of the flight software. and will tke up to 4 weeks to put it back in, but unsure just what it will break...
They may be stuck till February 25....…......
Record is Russian cosmonaut with 430+ days so no they won’t get close to that record time. Which was set in the space station MIR.
Yes, I know.
But, who knows?
As things are developing, they may beat that? Maybe?
I remember, during the collapse of Soviet Union, there was some cosmonaut stuck in the space for lot longer than anticipated!
I wonder if the 2 Starliner astronauts will get to vote in the upcoming General Election??
Two, IIRC. One is occupied by a Dragon, the other by Boeing's POS. Gotta discard the trash before the next Dragon can come up.
They should simply send up a shutt.........oh.
They already voted for Biden.
Lol.
Even if 0bama hadn’t shut that misbegotten program down prematurely, there’s still be the same problem.
I’ve often wondered why the ISS didn’t have space vehicle permanently docked to do a space rescue mission, or to leave to go back to Earth in an Emergency.
