NASA LIED! NASA Finally Revealed What Exactly Happened with Boeing Starliner
Starliner, once hailed as a breakthrough in crewed spaceflight, now faces a potentially humiliating end. After numerous issues and delays aboard the ISS, the prospect of it being unable to undock and possibly returning without its crew looms large. This situation has sparked significant debate, leading NASA to recently provide critical updates on the CFT-1, Crew-9 mission, and future operations.
So, what exactly did NASA reveal, and how will these developments impact Starliner, Dragon, and the overall ISS mission? Let’s explore these updates on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
NASA LIED! NASA Finally Revealed What Exactly Happened with Boeing Starliner
In the previous episode, we discussed NASA's potential plans to delay the Crew-9 mission due to ongoing Starliner issues. At that time, these updates were speculative, but NASA has now officially confirmed the delay, along with several other key updates.
NASA announced, “NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than Tuesday, September 24, for the launch of the agency’s Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station.” Steve Stich, NASA’s commercial crew program manager, further elaborated on the reasons behind the delay. Besides the rescheduling of Crew-9, NASA has decided to make room for two Starliner astronauts by launching only two astronauts on the Crew-9 mission. SpaceX spacesuits are reportedly ready for this change.
This move is something NASA had been hinting at for some time, though they hadn’t explicitly confirmed it. It seems they may have been downplaying the severity of Starliner’s issues. Now, with the situation becoming untenable, NASA has officially opted for a Dragon-based solution. Under this plan, the two Starliner astronauts will remain on the ISS for over eight months and return with Crew-9 in February 2025. The identities of these two astronauts have yet to be determined.

Another backup solution being considered involves allowing three crew members to be positioned on the Crew-8 cargo pallet. This contingency plan would be enacted if NASA needs to undock Starliner before Crew-9 arrives. Such a scenario would be a significant setback for Boeing. The inability to undock Starliner, compounded by the failure to safely return the astronauts, would be a major embarrassment—especially if they had to rely on their competitor, SpaceX's Dragon, to bring those astronauts back to Earth. This development would likely signal the end of Starliner.

To be resolved, thank you.

Bring Boeing CEO and Bill Nelson to ISS and let them bring Starliner back to earth

[tikidan]

NASA: "Why can't we undock?"

Boeing: " You didn't purchase the optional undocking package. It's only $2.6 billion extra. "

[JCrow-kznw]

When is someone at Boeing going to jail? That's my question.

[bobvoeh]

Boeing can't even make a plane that works correctly, why would anyone want them to make a spaceship?

[rustyshan]

Please do this research .... How many decision makers in government, Congress, whatever, own Boeing stock. I suggest the answer unravels the confusion over keeping Boeing in play.

[melinaa]

Boeing needs to admit the built a lemon, perhaps they should stick to building planes...oh yes I forgot they cant build a plane that can work correctly either?

[ruthlemler]

It’s time NASA cut its losses and move on. I really don’t want the astronauts to come back on starliner and I don’t think the American people should throw more money at a program that isn’t working.

[pauljohansen]

We should ALWAYS have a backup ship. Period

[adwood]

Less than 10 years ago Boeing were laughing at

[matfax]

Dare I say, corporations like Boeing and the European economy suffer from the same economic misconception: they think that saving money would be a long-term approach to improving output. It's neither microeconomically nor macroeconomically viable though. You have to invest, not save, if you want to compete in an economy of growth.

[metriczeppelin]

"Two missions in several YEARS." After the FAA gave SpaceX clearance to resume launches after investigating their recent Merlin engine failure, SpaceX launched 3 F9's within 30 HOURS. Let that sink in, 3 F9's within just 30 hours. We can't make this up. NASA has been betting on the wrong efing horse, for too many years now.

[CeeE]

NASA is apparently willing to risk another Columbia disaster to make sure that Boeing can get paid.

[ginvr]

At this point who would even buy a bicycle made by Boeing

[Space_Debris]

To meet Boeing's DEI goals, many "working" on Starliner only "looked" competent.

[otterpossum]

If the click bait titles continue, I am unsubscribing. Maybe that is why you aren't growing, people don't like click bait.

[nickv]

If its Boeing, its gonna need towing.

[dutchflats]

What in the World has happened to both NASA and Boeing? These two organizations used to be the *Zenith* of technological expertise, now they seem like they couldn't successfully tie their shoe laces!

[clifsraiders]

NASAs lying is no surprise but rather seems like the norm from the past to present and probably of future endeavors...

[genestone]

I don't think this report is entirely correct. Yes, it's a "software problem". But the real story is that Starliner can't undock automatically (ie un-manned). So this is actually a requirements design problem, NOT a software problem. They are covering up their sloppy design by blaming it on software.

[Parrain]

Unfortunately, incompetence is not illegal. If it was, a lot of politicians would be serving life sentences.
