There is an old medical joke:
“The operation was a success, but the patient died.”
New Boeing joke:
“The Starliner successfully returned, but without the astronauts.”
Hmm, so the ISS is hearing spooky sounds up there and one of the guys was sick and had to be quarantined. Suddenly, NASA had to send up these two astronauts in a beat up garbage can. There are 11 docking stations on the ISS though only 8 are used today. So, 8 docking stations but somehow they’re frantic over getting Starliner disconnected. We don’t beg Russia to help out because our warmongering leaders want to blow each other off the face of the earth. Somehow, of the 5 countries involved with the ISS there are no contingency plans or spacecraft. But, glory be, Starliner performed perfectly on its return flight without the astronauts. But we’ve got Elon on speed dial. Oh wait, speaking of lack of planning, the suits won’t fit in the new craft. BTW, not a peep about the sick guy. Brilliant display of government work.
