Elon IS the US's only means to space.

[griffin]

Wow...this is not a pleasant message for them or their families. Prayer up!! :(

[Fai Mao]

The Boeing capsule doesn’t have the right software to allow an unmanned undocking from the station.

[griffin]

Wait...are they both Trump supporters? And they won’t let them come home till AFTER the election?? Hmmm....

[ansel12]

How big is that space they are trapped in?

These must be some solid people.

[BenLurkin]

Could always try surfing down....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Food?

In the old days the space program had contingency planning to a ridiculous degree—and sometimes they had to implement those plans.

I guess that is a white guy thing.

Those in NASA who planned this mission are the most responsible for having astronauts trapped where they are for now. Poor planning,

or was this level of risk always known by all participating?

[cgbg]

Donner Party 2.0.

Lol.

[Owen]

Embarrassment.

Soyuz.

[Organic Panic]

Think of this as government run Obamacare. Yes, like me, you may need medical treatment NOW.... BUT. Since the government is in charge, you get it when they say you get it. Enjoy. I bet both of those astronauts are democrats.

Might as well try the GI Joe cartoon method - parachute to earth and miraculously land right by their base.

Looks like NASA said, in effect, "What the heck. Let's send it up. Maybe everything will go right."

The logic of a Las Vegas gamblker, "Maybe I'll win this time."

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Just when you think the Boeing news can’t get any worse, it gets worse.

[Starboard]

There will be no accountability for poor planning. There never is.

[spacejunkie2001]

remember one of the first appointments odumbo made was the head of nasa and his sole job of DEI? yeah....we’re seeing the fruit of THAT

[hillarys cankles]

On the other end, you have Elon who sends up starship after starship, watching them blow up on the launch pad or in flight while the MSM makes fun of him and plays up each failure. Where is that coverage for boeing? Substitute Boeing with Space X. Can you imagine the coverage???

“Victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan.”
Thus sayeth John F Kennedy, following The Bay of Pigs.

[Yo-Yo]

The Astronauts gave their Boeing Starliner capsule a new name - Ironman One.

(A reference to the Apollo capsule in the 1969 movie Marooned...)
