Astronauts were thinking dang we could have made it. Now we have to stay up here for another six months.

“Malfunctioning Boeing Starliner successfully returns to Earth without crew”
There I fixed it for you 🐍

[AidenSShin]

They suddenly forget what the word ‘successful’ means?

[DRaquascapes]

Those two are coming back with atleast 3 space babies.

Why is it difficult to do something that NASA first did in the early '60s

[AdnanMohamed-qt]

THANKFULLY STARLINER IS BACK IN ONE PIECE ALL OF US WERE EQUALLY WORRIED AS NASA IS

[verilyveronica]

Boeing maybe the hatches will stay shut should be there new slogan.

[bavery]

I'm no rocket scientist, but I would suggest the old Soviet unit as a backup, next time around...

[paulroberts]

For Boeing and NASA not a great way to celebrate the 100th Russian RD-180 used on a Atlas-3/5 rocket, Boeing need to learn very quickly the errors of Starliner and move on.

[ricksmith]

Yeah... If it's Boeing I'm not Going...

[jamesyates]

You, obviously, have no idea of the definition of the word successfully. It returned from a failed mission without it's crew. The fact that it didn't burn up in reentry doesn't mean it was a success, it means it's failure was limited.

Accidentally had to witness this sensationalized and divisive report. Can media please be used to help reunify us ot at least educate us instead?

[GoUtes]

Good for Boeing. Now they can figure out who they wanna fire.

[davidstulb]

Does anyone else have an issue with the fact that they were more concerned about getting their space ship back rather than the human beings that they left behind on the ISS?

[Sludgefactorii]

how many whistleblowers were sacrificed to the Boeing gods for this to succeed?

[christianeaster]

What made NASA think there was something wrong with the thrusters in the first place?

[SergioRamos-lzql]

Since the crew was not able to come back, then one may consider the mission was actually unsuccessful, right?

[coachtaewherbalife]

Actually the craft has to be inspected before they can determine if the crew would have been safe. This is a premature announcement.

[DonJuanDecepticon]

Returning a ship with extra weight from people is a completely different feat than how this returned . For everyone like “ oh they would have made it “

[Leopard]

Can someone explain what this is and what happened
