Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft lands on Earth without its astronauts

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday, months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.

The spacecraft re-entered Earth’s atmosphere around 11pm ET. The Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were supposed to fly the spacecraft back to Earth, remained at the International Space Station due to faults with the Starliner

So Boeing in space is dodgy, Boeing in the air is dodgy. They don't make super yachts by chance ?

[criticalthinker]

Should have listened closely to the Boeing Whistleblowers.

Flatearthers must be shaking their heads at the enormous expense media go to fabricate these missions 😂

[systemorox]

I'm sure Suni and Butch doesn't mind it either....

[walkaz]

Safest way to travel on Boeing these days

1:08 They're happy their mission is a complete failure? Boeing cut a check.

Astronauts collateral loss? How are they getting back?

[A.M.]

Why was it allowed to come back without the astronauts, who's gonna bring those astronauts back?

The landing is always shot through a potato in the dead of night.

Boeing had nearly double the budget given to SpaceX but they've yet to deliver

Privatisation in space is like going back to the early Nasa missions. If Nasa was still active in that way, we would have gone clear with space exploration.

How are going to poo and wee . How much extra food did they take for thses uneventualities are impossible.

[Jim-kevj]

All they money they spend on this seems pointless to me.

Nasa was not gambling with two lives. There has been a history of failures both in civilian airliners as well as the history of rockey launching of the starliner and the capsule. Happily there was an exception ... The landing of the capsule.

I’m sure their families agree…. What was he thinking saying something like that?

[carpediemdoesdiamondpainting]

Did they forget their towels or something?

[jamesstewart]

"Read all about it"!! Empty bucket falls from sky! 🙄

[muruga]

Boeing s need to be serious here after in their work

[mikythesaint]

I wonder what they will be doing in space for the next 6 months 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

bowing is now a complete joke, what little of its reputation was left is now in tatters.
