Send a shutt!e up to retrie.........oh. Never mind.

[Politically Correct]

If it’s Boeing...I’m not going.

[Red Badger]

If it’s Boeing.. YOU CAN’T GO!..................

[Mouton]

Cue up: ground control to major tom.

[Bernard]

they do not see a scenario “where Starliner is not going to be able to bring Butch and Suni home.”

Bring them home - is that the same as bring them home alive?

And one of them is named Suni - named after a muslim cult? Who was in charge in bringing more ducttape?

[Red Badger]

Gorilla Tape, the new ‘duct tape’.................

Can you imagine what it must be like to be one of those astronauts scheduled to jump on that thing and Drop back to earth?

I am totally done with NASA, and have been for sometime. It is clear that they are a DIE organization, and for any organization involved in space light, that is absolutely no place to be.

I'm sure the Russians will let the American astronauts use one of the Soyuz craft.

If it has problems going up, imagine the problems it could have coming down.

Getting up there is the easy part, getting back down in one piece is a bit more of a challenge.

Good gosh....first they couldn’t get the thing OFF the ground....now they can’t get it back ON the ground. SMH

Somebody needs to call ELON

CEO of Boeing says it's not his fault. It's his workers' fault.

Well, somebody fired and or drove out the old timers who knew what they were doing, and replaced them with a diversity of woketards.

If we only had those brilliant black woman from that Disney Movie and our 1960’s technology, we would be to mars by now without event!

[rdcbn1]

NASA has been an agency seeking a mission since 1986

NASA now is dedicated to global warming and climate change, manned space is a nuisance side line biz these days and it shows.

> And one of them is named Suni <

Out of curiosity I looked it up. She’s a Hindu. That didn’t surprise me. What surprised me is that she’s 58 years old. The other astronaut, Butch Wilmore, is 61.

I dunno. Maybe NASA is working under the principle of “with age comes wisdom”.

[Ciaphas Cain]

Heh. As a very small child (less than six) I told everyone that I wanted to be an astronaut.

Then one Sunday afternoon in January 1981 the big TV station in Greensboro aired Marooned.

Watching that movie thoroughly quashed THAT desire of mine!!!

And the question on everyones mind:

Will the starliner be serving hors d’oeuvres?

[T.B. Yoits]

They can fix the Starleaker with a can or two of Flex Seal ^TM.
