Send up an extra 2 seats on a cargo ship. (Assembly instructions included!) Their suits won't work on CrewDragon, though. Either re-enter without suits, or wait for SpaceX to make/find suits that fit.

The ISS isn't built to fly unmanned. They need to figure out how to safely get rid of Starleaker, and they have a month (or so) to do it.

Hopefully instructions not written by Ikea staff.

I forgot about the custom made space suits, tailored specifically for each SpaceX Crew Dragon rider.

NASA should not allow the Starliner capsule to depart, unless all astronauts leave the ISS. Way too risky, risking a collision with the ISS. Previous departures of capsules have them go through many maneuvers in order to prevent a mishap, and there is no guarantee of Starliner safely doing those maneuvers. Get the people out of there, and let the ISS die. Private space companies can build a better space station.

“Starleaker”

Lol..I’m totally stealing that. My sister works for Boeing not in the space div I’m constantly ribbing her about their DEI debacle. She like everyone else in the fam is a PhD in addition she is a research fellow and double post doctoral work so most certainly not a DEI hire she was top of her aeronautical engineering PhD class with a 4.0 GPA an actual rocket scientist in the fam. Makes us earth science guys look bad even with PhDs and post docs as well.
