Oh boy. That’s bad
What in the fuck. Can Boeing be permanently disqualified as a NASA supplier moving forward?
They’re too big to fail, so they’ll continue stealing from tax payers en mass until a non corporate whore does something about it.
Seize the means of production. Honestly, that private businesses have been allowed to exist has been one of the greatest mistakes in American history.
You’re Boeing to die…
Welp! 😐
If they’ve made up their mind about it, I want them to bring back the empty capsule as is. Just to see what happens.
The real joke is that the can’t bring back an empty capsule.
Boeing, in their infinite wisdom, decided to disable the software that would allow Starliner to undock by itself.
Despite it already having done this during its second test run.
So as of now, at least one astronaut MUST be inside the capsule to get this $6 billion space barnacle detached from the space station. They can’t even send up the “rescue” ship because there wouldn’t be any place for it to dock.
So basically, the ISS has the equivalent of a car up on blocks parked in its driveway. How delightful.
It’s a shame they can’t toss the responsible Boeing/NASA folks out that same airlock.
All those brains and they can’t rig up a switchbot? https://us.switch-bot.com/products/switchbot-bot
Imagine the astronauts and their families, how is it possible for this to happen just a few kilometers from the surface of the Earth? It doesn’t leave much confidence in the systems we currently have available. If they can’t even rescue these poor souls, let alone talk about expanding into space, occupying the Moon, going to Mars… With this news, when they talk about these topics, only we will want to laugh!
