Why NASA chose SpaceX and not Boeing to bring back Starliner crew from space

NASA announced it will wait until 2025 to bring back the Boeing Starliner capsule crew that remains at the International Space Station. This comes as concerns remain over technical difficulties with Boeing's capsule. CBS News space consultant Bill Harwood has the latest.

NASA didn't want the door to blow off Boeing's spaceship

[AureusApps]

If it is Boeing, I'm not going...

[pineapplegamer]

I would trust Boeing to fix a roof let alone create rocket ships anymore

[Boxagami]

That's easy to answer and I think everyone knows why.

[sundragon]

In a nutshell, Boeing's word is no longer good enough.

[savannahm.laurentian]

Boeing is such a dangerous mess. Luckily the astronauts made it to the space station safely.

[legitbeans]

"Boeing" is the sound their vehicles make when they hit the ground.

[worldn]

Boeing's flight safety reputation has been damaged

Boeing’s competitor? 😂 Space X has no competition. Boeing can’t even build planes. Something they have been doing since 1916. 😂 Space X at it for less than 20 years and it’s already landing boosters on a water platforms. Competitors 😂

I bet it hurts them to need Elon M lol
Least they'll have a chance-- better off than temuBoeing

[joachim]

Why would this put any pressure on the polaris mission? They are not related at all? And crew-9 will launch normally just with two less crew onboard. This changes nothing really for SpaceX

[IOSALive]

CBS News, nice work, keep the videos coming

[Arknight]

Spacex can do without boeing as they can relaunch another dragon pretty quickly.

[guppygrease]

Where is shuttle now? Because corner cutting problematic in rocket science Yo!

[kavorka]

why? Former NASA managers are the real founders of spacex, that's the real answer to your question

Starliner crew stranded in space, shameful. The physics of space travel has not changed since the 60's and 70's so what is it? The difference between generations.

There was a generation that saved humanity then came home to send people to the moon. There was no such thing as acceptable failure to them. It was the Soviet Union that pretended something was not a failure or that it did not happen at all.

This generation, failure with phrases like unscheduled rapid disassembly to compensate for ineptitude is ok because at least you participated, and you are entitled to something. This is the same generation demanding communism in this country as they applaud and cheer total failure.

Then Generation – “Failure is not an option”
Today’s Generation – ‘We are not afraid of failure”

[DarkProphet]

Didn’t I see this on beavis and butthead???

[DaHaiZhu]

If any thruster fires too short, too long, or at the wrong time, or the wrong thruster, or even a leak occurs during re-entry alignment, Starliner becomes a blast furnace inside and everything melts or breaks apart into little charred pieces. Boeing is naive in thinking its "Good Enough" to get those astronauts back (alive). Thankfully, NASA, has grown some brain cells and now knows better than to roll the dice.

[Dogman]

Boeing need to fix their planes and win back customer confidence before trying to go to space.

[sydsaturn]

I wouldn't want to ride a mountain bike made by Boeing
