NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been stuck in space for months longer than expected, and will not return to Earth until at least March 2025 at the earliest, NASA indicated.
They’re astronauts, they’re loving this, they’ve said so in Interviews and it’s pretty obvious they’ve not just been told to say that. That’s not to mention that Starliner is a private spacecraft (just as much as Dragon is) and that’s the only thing being discredited here.
The ISS still gets regular deliveries and even some replacement astronauts from SpaceX but the Boeing and SpaceX suits aren’t inter-compatible so they can’t hitch a ride back afaik.
When your government is so afraid of socialism that they won’t even mandate that the two companies they contract out share some compatibility for the sake of convenience.
“Should we tell them that part of the deal is that they have to both work with the others technology?”
I wonder what the defining amount of bone density loss marks the onset of osteoporosis. A cursory google search suggests that they are losing between 1-2% per month in space.
