SpaceX To Rescue The Astronouts of Boeing's Starliner!

2024 must be the worst year for Boeing as a company. From whistleblower scandals to the aircraft safety issues making headlines, Boeing's reputation has taken a significant hit. Now, something even more serious is happening: the lives of astronauts are at risk. Boeing had one chance to turn public anger into appreciation with the Starliner project, but it seems they've blown that chance too. Now, it's not just about their reputation; it's about the safety of the astronauts stuck at the International Space Station.
As Boeing and NASA continue to address the Starliner issues, there appears to be one very reliable option for the astronauts' return to Earth and that’s SpaceX. In this video, we will discuss how this situation will end with SpaceX successfully returning the astronauts, as it has done before. Before we delve any deeper, please make sure to subscribe to our channel for future updates on this and many more topics.

The launch of Boeing's Starliner has been a journey filled with multiple challenges, even before it successfully docked with the International Space Station.
Initially scheduled for earlier dates, the first crewed launch attempt on May 6 was scrubbed due to a valve issue in the Atlas V rocket, which regulates the pressure on the upper stage. This valve was found to be malfunctioning, leading to a last-minute cancellation. Following this, the launch was rescheduled but faced another delay on June 1 when a computer card issue in the ground launch sequencer caused an automatic hold just minutes before liftoff. Engineers identified a problem with the power supply unit in one of the ground control computers, necessitating the replacement of the faulty component before another attempt could be made.
Despite these problems, the Starliner successfully launched on June 5 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Aboard the spacecraft were veteran NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who were tasked with testing the vehicle’s systems in preparation for future operational missions. The spacecraft reached a safe and stable orbit, docking with the international space station on June 6.
Now, you might think the issue has ended when the spacecraft docked with the space station, but the challenges continued to mount with technical issues and delays that have extended the return mission.
Initially, the Starliner was scheduled to return on June 18, 2024, but this was delayed due to the need for additional preparations and spacewalks that were originally planned for June 13. These spacewalks were subsequently canceled due to spacesuit discomfort.
The return was then rescheduled to June 22, 2024. However, this date also faced postponements due to ongoing technical issues with the spacecraft. Specifically, the Starliner experienced helium leaks in its propulsion system, which required further investigation.
Again, On June 18, NASA announced another delay, pushing the return date to June 26, 2024. However, experts believe that the mission will be delayed even further as Boeing still does not seem to have fully understood the underlying problems.

Boeing shows what happens when accountants take over and attempt to run an engineering company.

You know what is worse than having the competition coming to the rescue? Losing two astronauts due to malfunction. That would look really bad.

[jamesglass]

I could have predicted this before Boeing even launched. I think it is time to demand a refund from all Boeing executives. It is obvious that they are grossly overpaid.

Boeing suffers from the mindset of all Iron Triangle companies. Boeing believed that they were so well protected that they didn’t have to compete on performance, speed, or price.

I worked with Lockheed Martin on a project and I saw it first-hand. Our company was lean, hungry, and innovative. Our partner, LM, was bloated, lazy, and hidebound. They wouldn’t do ANYTHING AT ALL unless that specific action was paid for by a line item in the contract, and the price was extraordinary. The Navy wanted a proposal on something and LM wanted $300K to develop a proposal in 3 months. We did it for free in two weeks. The Navy wanted a drone submarine for our SSN’s to war game against. From design to delivery our 110’ sub was fully tested and operational in 10 months. LM literally did not care if what they provided worked or not. In fact, making things work was considered extra work for which the government had to pay extra. Boeing and LM have the Union worker mindset that the government should pay them for their time and effort, not for actual performance.

That's happens when your management are bigger than engineering team 🤣🤣

On the bright side, the door didn't fall off.

[kennethlee]

Nasa should bring back the Starliner unmanned and force Boeing to pay SpaceX to send up A Crew Dragon to get the astronauts.

[thothheartmaat]

you know whats more embarrassing than accepting help from space x? letting two astronauts die because of your own hubris...

[rjb]

But the CEO makes $32, 000.000 salary plus a 45% raise. Priorities Priorities.

I’m a retire from Boeing, but I’ve never respected their management. I only retired from them because they bought the company I worked for. Boeing isn’t a technical company over the last 20 years; they are an acquisition company run by
bean-counters. Their Space portion of their company was acquired from Douglas Space Division. To much to say that
isn’t fit without a formal interview. I also was a main designer of the First iteration of the Space Station. Again not as a
Boeing employee. They need less BS business types and lawyers, and more REAL Engineers and technicians.

Call International Rescue, Alan Tracy get ready Thunderbirds are go!

[unfundedopportunities]

I can find no evidence that SpaceX has been asked to rescue stranded astronauts..

[jimray]

Imagine egos determining decision making at that level?!? It’s not like we’ve seen that before….

[williamholcombe]

Five years behind schedule and 5 billion over budget 😮 Thanks Boeing 👍 GOOD JOB .

[clarencehopkins]

How many people in government have stock or received stuff from Boeing

[johnpodo]

@NASA. Pick up your phone and call SpaceX to bring "Starliner" astronauts home. Enough is enough.

[arthurjennings]

Sad to see what has happened to a company which used to be a bunch of engineers building airplanes. Who would have thought that buying Douglas could have imported the same culture that destroyed Douglas as well. It is time to fire the bean counters and lawyers that have ruined both Boeing and Douglas.

[Kaptain.Obvious]

All Boeing’s execs will sleep well knowing they overwhelmingly achieved their DEI quotas guaranteeing their huge year end bonuses.

[donaldalvord]

Come on Boeing its time to face facts swallow your pride admit you built a lemon and call Space X and bring that crew home alive

[ronlu]

Pray for the safe return of our astronauts!🙏🙏🙏
