"It wasn't my fault. The robot did it."
A Three Hour Cruise.
Might not be too bad for an updated Gilligan’s Island Series
It MUST be risky if they already stay up so long and now maybe for six months! Incredible. So funny if SpaceX has to ultimately rescue them. Musk should prep that for next month and offer a free rescue for the advertising it would offer.
Seems like there's no end to it.
Sounds like they are on a Boeing 737.
Without starliner? Pretty sure they didn’t pack enough undies. Hmmmmmmm? Will that interfere with other planned activities? Purty sure that’d be a yup!. Will Elon send an empty ship up to fetch them? For a price I’m sure. Deorbit the Boeing star liner into the Pacific.
Wonder if they will get over time pay.
So why did they send up the Starliner in the first place?
Space stations may prove to be effective penal colonies over the next decade, if Gitmo gets shut down.
“The two astronauts who have already been stuck in space for more than 60 days may have to wait until early 2025”
Rescue date scheduled for Sept 24 ...

People need to realize this was a test flight specifically to find these types of problems. Both astronauts are experienced test pilots. It is not even called Starliner 1 and still considered a test platform.
IIRC-—THE STARLINER NEEDS TO BE RELEASED FROM IT’S DOCK SPACE AT THE ISS BEFORE ANY OTHER VEHICLE CAN PERFORM A RESCUE.
NO PARKING SPACE AVAILABLE-—————
Damn....SMH
"It wasn't my fault. The robot did it."
This reminds me of those movies “Gravity” and “Apollo 13”.
They don’t matter. What’s important is that the team working on a solution should be diverse.
Hope they stocked up on Tang.
Hope they are getting paid hourly instead of salary.
What a mess - these two were supposed to be home in a week or two.
Have they contacted Sec. of Trans. Mrs Buttguy to sic their regulators on Boeing? Need to reimburse them for meals, lodging and $200 a night for the delays.
