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

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.

And there is no emergency manual override? Seems like they would want the ability to kick things like that off, jettison something dangerous.

So it has operating software that can’t be modified? I’m no rocket surgeon, but that seems...unwise.

Despite the previous flight having done just that. Can they upgrade the software remotely, or does that involve change storage media?
