it was about incompetence, politics, and money.

That’s ultimately what did Challenger in. Not the cold weather.

Jun 28, 2024:

“ The first astronauts to fly Boeing’s troubled Starliner are definitely not “stranded” at the International Space Station, NASA insisted..”

July 26th:
“ but thruster failures and helium leaks on Boeing’s capsule prompted NASA and Boeing to keep them up longer.”

Sheesh, They’re stranded. Just admit it and get it fixed. Or call Russia.

Our government simply can’t help but lie. All the time.

[telescope115]

At least they’re not up there alone, and they will have plenty of supplies. They’ll get down, eventually. I just hope somebody’s paying their salaries while they’re up there.

Get a grip.

They’re on the ISS. SpaceX Dragon spacecraft have a habit of visiting the place. They can, and probably will, catch a ride home on one of them. Meanwhile, Boeing will try to land the Starliner under automatic control ... and I (very unscientifically) give it 0.5 probability of successfully returning.

[NorthMountain]

Or call Russia.

Good Heavens!!!

Crew Dragon is no big secret, people!

Don't be idiots.

[markman46]

Yes that hot fire test is going to happen

[markman46]

Different divisions not related

[markman46]

Not even close

[Governor Dinwiddie]

[markman46]

The thrusters are on the service module
The HE leaks are not happening due to being shut down during the docked phase

[markman46]

But the starliner is taking up one of the two docking ports used by dragon and starliner

[ARW]

Get over yourself. How would you fix it Mr idiot?

[NorthMountain]

Guess what’s on the other one?

A Dragon!

Solution: Two extra seats on the next Dragon, and adapters to mate the Starliner suits to the Dragon air system.

[NorthMountain]

#33 is for you, too.

But go ahead! Run in circles, scream and shout. It’s mildly amusing.

Re: Post 17

We need a photoshopped version of 'Baghdad Bob' as 'Boeing Bob', maybe with a flight suit, and roll him out every time Boeing screws up.

[Celtic Conservative]

Call Spacex and warm up the rescue mission.

[Mark17]

I wonder how much food they have?

[ARW]

Like I said, they’re stranded.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

if it’s Boeing ya ain’t going RETURNING

[NorthMountain]

You can say that if you like being WRONG.
