NASA announces the final verdict for Boeing Starliner!

The moment of truth has arrived for Starliner! If NASA does the responsible thing, Boeing's future in the Spaceflight industry is essentially done. But that option is infinitely better than the alternative, right?
Right?

What surprised me is that Nelson just about admitted that bad management caused the 2 shuttle accidents. I mean, gobsmacked. My respect for him has risen slightly.

I bet Boeing are doing their absolute best to get NASA to cancel Starliner. Carrying on is going to cost them a small fortune.

Man it has been a BAD year to be a Boeing employee with a bunch of vested stock. I feel bad for the employees. This all has become very clear that these issues arose from poor decisions at the senior leadership and executive levels. I’d go work somewhere else at this point..

I gave up when the reporter from KHOU-TV asked about how the astronauts will feel about “missing the holidays with their families”.
What a stupid question!
I wonder how they feel about a fiery re-entry where then get incinerated on Starliner?

[botto]

Crazy how many times they thanked Boeing. Never once thanking SpaceX

[tonyug]

Boeing skimped on testing (and quality) to meet commercial targets...

[debbied]

Thanks so much for covering this live!

[arthurlong]

Boeing says it has lost $1.6billion on StarLiner, so far. How much money has NASA pissed away that we will never know about? Boeing is responsible to their stockholders to a acknowledge financial losses, but NASA has no obligation to detail their losses to us tax payers.

[southofhollywood]

According to NASA we all owe Boeing a big thanks. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[cryingemoji]

I am very grateful that NASA has chosen to do the safe thing for Suni & Butch. I feel bad for them, but I suppose that, as test pilots for a space agency, they were trained and prepared for something like this. I am mostly just bummed that Starliner didn’t work out as well as I hoped it would. I hope Boeing can pull through this bs. I want everyone to succeed. The more redundancy, the better.

[davidlane]

Bill Nelson MAY mean 100% for Boeing for cargo, the only thing I'd let them carry 😉

[MrBoomersfriend]

I gotta admit I’m gonna love watching the Starliner crew come down courtesy of SpaceX and dragon

1:05:15 "DON'T PISS ON MY LEG AND TELL ME THAT IT IS RAINING ! ! !" WELL SAID JORDAN (ANGRY) AND YOU TELL BOEING ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[matthewakian]

I for one hope Boeing could sort out the issues with the Spacecraft, so there can be two reliable US spacecraft able to take crew to the ISS.

[morgananderson]

Sadly, Boeing deserves a participation trophy...
It's corporate culture excellence (Nee McDonnel Douglas merger...) is the same thing being pushed throughout our society including stressing DEI emphasis.
Thanks Jordan for your terrific space coverage!

[joeont]

The starliner has the feel of a project where the engineers and project managers kept on quitting and getting replaced and the whole project lacks any coherent direction.

[eclecticllama]

I’m sorry I missed the live. So glad you posted this. Stay angry! My only thought: think about where we would be if starliner was the only option we had?

[paulehney]

Given that ACS has been around since the days of the X-15, the fact Boeing can't get it right should tell NASA it's time to stop throwing money at something that's nothing more than a jobs program.
