Just sit right back
And you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this Boeing ship.
The mate was a mighty Astronaut,
The Skipper brave and sure,
Their passengers blast off that day,
For an eight day tour,
An eight day tour.
The spaceship started breaking down,
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Starliner would be lost.
The Starliner would be lost.
Imagine the overtime…
I think NASA may bump the schedule of Crew Dragon flights and on an emergency basis launch in about 40 days a flight with only a two-astronaut crew so the Starliner crew can be brought back.
I listened to Press Conference
Or as I describe as a NASA Spin Conference.
a three-hour cruise

SpaceX Dragon was designed to fly 7 in a 4 + 3 two deck setup. For the love of all that is holy just send up crew 9 with the second row installed. Once at the ISS use the robot arm to move and hold that junker of starliner out of the docking port long enough to pull the seats and put them in the already docked Dragon then fly home with 4+2 in that Dragon. It’s not rocket science...or use the fact that Dragon can fly itself and undock the existing Dragon fly it a few Km away and hold just like they do for every normal arrival. Then fly in Crew 9 dock it pull the seats and undock it swap back in the other Dragon and fly home with 6. The absolute simplest is to fly Crew 9 with 6 seats and use it to bring NASA guys plus the older Dragon crew home home leaving the other Dragon to fly home Crew 9 Dragon has like a year of endurance docked to the ISS that older Dragon can just stay longer. This last way means dumping the Boeing turd for docking space before crew 9 gets there.
How could they have enough supplies to last that long?
That’s what happens when you hire a libtard idiot to run NASA
Gilligan’s Space Station
Why am I thinking about the movie “Gravity?”
The Boeing Starliner was launched with known issues
I thought this was a very bad idea - you never go unless 100% mission capable

That’s a lotta back pay…
They probably think it was a good thing to have a short delay as it was all new and now this... not so good.
Wearing the same clothes for months on end 🤢😖
THis will teach them not to put their seat in the full upright position.
These astronauts should sue Boeing for millions.
That rather sucks... Hope they brought extra batteries for their Game Boys!
