ISS SOS!

Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! Emergency on the ISS, 2 astronauts - Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore are stranded on the international space station after problems with the first crewed mission of the boeing starliner!

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.

I spent 20+ years as a Test Engineer at a company that supplied components whose failure would be catastrophic. This is inexcusable.

[mickratters]

It's been 60 days, yet NASA persists with the 'They are not stuck' narrative. Then, erm, bring em back.

[jouhannaudjeanfrancois]

She was so happy to be back in ISS that my theory is that Suni Williams sabotaged the capsule to stay as long as possible...

Lost In Space! Sounds like a great 60's TV show 😂

2:22 that zoom in and tracking is crazy! Post processed to stabilize image?

[spankyharland]

big deal, that one Russian cosmonaut was stuck in space for more than a year- he came back in a jello state, but he made it.

10 yrs. later…Boeing’s Starliner still has ENDLESS ISSUES. Also Boeing…Oh, the Astronauts still aren’t stranded. They’re fine.

[artyfuffkin]

The Boeing engineer s and builders should be the astronauts on first missions

[tmanwattsutube]

Love your channel. I love that you focus on facts and relevant information. I think you deserve a ton more subscribers and I’ll tell all the science cats I know about you!

[Storms]

There is no rescue plan, the Dreamliner is unfixable, and the ISS only has so much in supplies. GOOD JOB, BOEING!

[corychristensen]

If you put in your backup quarterback and he throws an interception on the first play, put your starter back in

[Mike_Greentea]

If Boeing made a tooth brush it would probably fail 😢

[ARWest-bpyb]

Starliner will "probably" be safe to return?" Not exactly confidence inspiring. Pretty sure that Butch & Suni don't mind the extended stay!😄

[drab]

I think the astronauts don't mind staying for a bit longer in ISS at all. Once they're stranded for half a year, that probably will start to be an issue.

Loved the video your beautiful smile wonderful cheerful nature and your pet kitty in the space helmet I am impressed. Thanks I subscribed ❤

I wonder about the consumable resources on board the ISS as to how the two astronauts consuming those resources affect the mission of the other long term astronauts? Its not like you can run down to the local store to grab some more chips.

[randallsanchez]

Some of these issues should have been dealt with ages ago. Faulty seals? That's an old issue that has been dealt with since the 80's. How are they still having these issues today? How were these not discovered and dealt with early early in the testing stages? And how is this cost more than $5 billion dollars? That AND Dragon 2 has already made several successful docks but is being sidelined in favor of Boeing? My god, talk about corruption within the contracting process.

[KW-vpks]

I would agree they are "stranded" but will they be leaving the way they arrived I believe the most obvious answer is no.

Awesome video dr Maggie!!! How would you handle being stranded in space on a station???
