Talk about a cozy relationship!! Starship is so far behind it will likely ruin the Artemis Program!! Ab bad as Starship is performing, the Artemis contract for the HLS should be cancelled and the lead contractor switched to BO!

The reason they didn't return earlier is because the engineers wouldn't have been able to figure out what happened to the faulty thrusters. The service module carrying the thrusters burns up on re-entry. So, the engineers needed to figure out what happened before the crew returned. I think Starliner can still work and be safe. I just don't know if Boeing will be around to operate it.

While watching I had the same thought when they said they wanted to understand the thrusters. Shouldn't that have been done during the development phase? Some people talk about how much the Apollo program cost yet do you know how much time was put into testing and verifying each component? And yet we still has Apollo One's fire. The problem boils down to a simple problem that has been pointed out.Once by another spacecraft designer who shall remain nameless. Upper management are not real engineers. they are bean counters. The other problems is they don't have the best people anymore. They must meet certain checkboxes. Myself I don't care if you are white, black purple male xon. As long as you know your stuff come work for us. That other company has done that. I heard when Musk decided to build a spacecraft he learned all he could on engineering. That is the way it should be. I'm a medic but I don't think you would want me to design your thrusters.

"We want to understand the thrusters and how we use them", I would have thought after 60 years using thrusters, they would know by now. NASA should slap them hard and make any future Boeing projects be done on their own dime. Aircraft are required to deep-cycle their batteries every thirty days to prevent developing a memory which prevents usage of the full battery charge, if you continually use only the top 10 percent, eventually, that will be all that is available to be used. Telling the astronauts "we think most of the systems might work OK" does not give a strong sense of confidence.

I really hope NASA is prepared to change their agency's name to NATA (need another two astronauts) if this ends badly. This is about as smart as the flight carrying Vladimir Komarov. On the ground testing. If it really is that valuable, why did we send a mission out to lunar orbit just to test the docking/undocking and maneuvering of the LEM and CSM? Seems kind of dumb to go to all that expense when we could have done testing in LEO or that valuable ground testing. Seriously, the ground testing is near worthless compared to gathering data during flight. NASA/NATA should tell Boeing that if they want any more missions they need a much more reliable ship within a year or pay back the 2 billion and change . . . that's the equivalent of 20 falcon heavy launches. NASA could use that for some real science, rather than designing an edsel.

Apollo 9 Manned flight of the complete lunar landing mission vehicle in low Earth orbit to demonstrate operability of all the equipment and (insofar as could be done in Earth orbit) to perform the maneuvers involved in the ultimate mission. Apollo 10 A complete mission except for the final descent to and landing on the lunar surface. The spacecrafts were named Gumdrop & Snoopy. Apollo 11 The initial lunar landing mission. Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. Boeing is lost in the weeds, has fallen, and can't get up. Apollo had four manned missions to test, test, and more testing along the way to the goal of landing. Boeing had two uncrewed test flights of Starliner that failed. This last flight should have been uncrewed. The only reason it docked was that it was crewed, an uncrewed capsule with major problems would have been kept out of the ISS safe zone.

Which will be worse for Boeing, sending SpaceX to bring them back to earth, or having these two astronauts die on reentry????

I'd be worried the door would fall off during launch...

How about they bring it back and just "pretend" the astronauts are inside... see what happens. Meanwhile, SpaceX sends a Dragon to actually bring them home safely. Sure, study the Starliner but don't risk lives to save face.

The main problem is that NASA is being headed up by an ex-congressman with many friends in Congress who are heavily invested in Boeing.

If the ISS is charging Starliner's Batteries then WHY did they make such a shitstorm over it?

Didn't NASA require SpaceX to run several missions cargo only before allowing crews? Why the special treatment?

A highlight is that the batteries are good enough to double the mission duration. Wasn't the original mission a few days?

This craft should never have been approved for human flight. NASA launched 2 daredevil astronauts on a dangerous mission that was doomed to fail. Boeing has failed and NASA tried to bail them out at great risk.

Boeing is testing after failures rather than prior to mission???? Sounds like the standard process at Boeing on all their products.
