Careful with the doors. Wouldn't want someone's phone to fall out mid-flight if they opened 😂😂😂

This is them trying to make us forget they ducked two guys

It's a Boeing. I won't be going.

SpaceX launched 185 Starlink satellites during the countdown sequence.

meanwhile SpaceX's crew dragon is running on a schedule for 1/20 the cost.

They didn't actually make sure it works they just bent everything into place and sent it off

[MarkDonahue-reiw]

That ship is a tremendous waste of our tax dollars

They went ahead and the helium leaks are worst than expected but they are playing that down. Helium pressure is required to operate the maneuvering thrusters to de orbit and return home.

I hope the astronauts brought some duct tape and bailing wire.

[SadieThegoat-srfb]

was this to cover one of their assassin's?

[dont-want-no-wrench]

if they get it to work reliably the delays will be forgotten

Starliner is the cutting edge of spacecraft technology that is 20 years ahead of its time!😊

Wonder what parts of the capsule were checked with a hotel keycard

[Cruisey]

Still using Russian engines, embarrassing.

I can't imagine the number of factors involved in undertaking a manned space flight.

[theadventuresofbrockinthai]

I wouldn't want to be in that thing when it comes back to Earth.

The only thing you can’t see on camera is, the actual flight. For that part of the, “mission” you’ll just have to take their word for it….✌️🤨

[MTkONE]

U cannot rush Creation, those that do in time Fall even further

[BZEDAKING]

Honestly at this point why are we even paying these clowns to try?

[ColeAra]

Half expected something to fly off the rocket followed by the death of a whistleblower 😅
