but thruster failures and helium leaks .......

Moe checks drawing board plans

Can you imagine how big a story this would be if Trump were President ? CNN would have a clock going measuring the hours.

It’s time to ditch the failed Boeing ship and send a SpaceX rescue craft.

[rktman]

Just send up a shuttle..........oh!

[hal ogen]

Government employees paying the price of having other government employees in charge of your mission. Incompetence, lackadaisical attitudes, no accountability, no enforcement of standards and no hiring on merit (DEI)...leads to quite a mess. LOL...More popcorn.

[griffin]

That’s a pretty long layover.

I’d try to get my money back from expedia for this one.

[CodeToad]

I thought NASA said 14 July was a drop-dead date.

[markman46]

and where is dragon suppost to dock at if both docking ports are in use??????

[markman46]

no they are not..

[markman46]

thanks for pointing that out

[Campion]

Yeah, I think they have to fish or cut bait before the end of August, when the next Crew Dragon arrives. Either ride Starleaker home, or let it undock and land on autopilot.

[markman46]

yes nasa and Boeing need to shit or get off the pot

[Paal Gulli]

Burt Rutan's shuttlecocking re-entry vehicle is looking pretty good about now.

Slow speed re-entry with no heat shielding:

Would make a great "life raft" for ISS.

I’m told their space-suits are not compatible with SpaceX suits. Don’t know how complex it may be to correct that.
