NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have raised alarms about a series of "strange noises" coming from the malfunctioning Starliner capsule as of August 1, 2024. With a long way still to go before making it back to Earth, the veteran astronauts, currently residing on the International Space Station (ISS), are reportedly encountering a ‘pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping,’ according to the recording, first shared by a meteorologist named Rob Dale.

My car mechanic told me to ignore it when my car makes funny noises.
“Don’t pay attention to the media” he says...
Lol.
here is the reason:
NASA response:
“A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback. The crew is asked to contact mission control when they hear sounds originating in the comm system. The speaker feedback Wilmore reported has no technical impact to the crew, Starliner, or station operations, including Starliner’s uncrewed undocking from the station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 6.”
there are also 7 other people currently on the ISS.
starliner has an ATM machine with OS/2 on it????
Seems fitting, given the ATM-like nature of this Boeing contract...
“Noise and feedback” is very general.
Too general.
I am not buying their explanation for the specific repeating sonar sounds.
All set for "release".
(It's an action-packed week.)
