I suspect they’re going to have to disconnect it, and check it into the ocean. But I just read today that it can’t undock without a crew on board. They disabled that functionality and are attempting to reinstate it in orbit.
With their luck I would hate to Trust automatically undocking
Someone just told me today that this defective Starliner is different from the previous unmanned Starliner in that they did not install the code that would allow it to operate without personnel onboard.
I had not heard this, but honestly, have not been following it that closely.
There may be a valid technical reason why that automatous capability may not have been installed, but I don’t know what that would be. I will have to find out more about it.
