I bet that crew left stranded wish they had rode that craft back to earth.

If NASA is too chicken to take risks they should go back to sending chimps to space, the capsule worked fine, no humans needed

NASA has lost astronauts before-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spaceflight-related_accidents_and_incidents

19 astronauts (18 US, 1 Israeli)

Even the Russians lost cosmonauts (4) To me, it’s understandable that NASA didn’t gamble with the 2 astronauts’ lives. I can’t imagine the firestorm that NASA would be engulfed in.

I have no love for the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson (He’s a former astronaut) and the political wokeness that has infiltrated the Space Agency today.

Back in the glory days of NASA, not only the astronauts, but the the people running the Space Agency had The Right Stuff.

It’s actually NASA with egg on their face, much less Boeing.
