Didn’t Boeing make a whistleblower disappear a few months back?

[AnOwlfie]

If SpaceX failed this hard, NASA wouldn't have considered their feelings, but I guess things are different if you're Boeing.

[kredd]

Boeing can barely make crafts that fly safely in earths atmosphere. Why are they in space?

[bruces]

If they were never stuck up there as this guy said, then why are they still STUCK there and not with their families

[tylerdurden]

*without maneuvering thrusters...you are just decoupling and hoping for the best...😂😂

[martinc.]

I hope no commercial Boeing will be on its path as it gets close to Earth.

[StoneColdSteveAustin.]

I really hope that the Starliner wont cause the ISS to explode or something when they Detach
Boeing Should be banned from Space

[planetsec]

yep NASA needs redundancy and two separate spacecraft to reach the ISS, but for the moon? oh Orion will do...

A long black hair was discovered wrapped around the mechanism of a critical helium valve.

starliner very clear visible thruster fire , why apollo 11-17 use same (HYPERGOLIC) thruster but never see VISIBLE FIRE ?

[RedPixel]

Stuckliner is death breathing, please let me die already! its moaning!

[TaffEdwards]

You need to get the Head of Boeing on your programme Meet The Press

Astronauts have a better chance Lost in Space than flying Boeing home 😮

[brooksfab]

Question, what is the speed of escape velocity?

[kennethhigh]

Okay let's get this straight, they're not stuck up there, they just can't get down right now. So I guess it's like this, your Toyota pickup is never stuck in the mud if your neighbor has a Chevy. Years ago NASA engineers were able to get people to the Moon and back this is not that NASA.

[FourthWayRanch]

They can't even get to orbit and back, still believe they went to the moon?

[BlueJazzBoyNZ]

NASA needs 2 or more programs. Dream chaser, Neutron....
Elon with another monopoly ? That will get leveraged up the war-zoo..
And Blue Origin Musk Mk 2 on trying to own it all.

Can someone explain the health condition of the two astronauts who have had extended stay in space? How to read the dropped count of the red blood cells?

[MichaelBrown-ftwp]

If they’ve always had a way back, SEND THEM BACK…!!

Anybody else sick of Sunny William's hair?
