NASA gives stunning update on stranded astronauts

In a stunning turn of events, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson held a press conference to announce a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule will bring home two NASA astronauts who have remained on board the International Space Station for about 80 days because of issues plaguing the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.

Such a relief to hear that the lives of the astronauts will not be put at undue risk. Good decision, NASA!!

[maggiemccullough]

Wishing them all the safety they require, and I thank them for their incredibly brave service.

if it's Boeing, I ain't going

[ismailnyeyusof]

Boeing started as an aerospace engineering company but slipped into a pure, cost cutting, profit oriented business. Big, big mistakes.

I wouldn't trust Boeing with a dog's cage.

“Boeing has worked very hard” means “Boeing’s execs have been busy doing damage control instead of fixing the company that is in complete disarray”

The song lyric "a 3 hour tour" keeps running through my mind

[twistedconversations]

Boeing has not had a good year smh. Everything comes back to them. Flights falling apart. Stranding astronauts smh

Boeing got us to the moon and back. How the mighty have fallen. Maybe stop letting the bean counters overrule the engineers.

Just tell Boeing both are whistleblowers, they'll find a way.

[dennislindqvist]

If they can't build airplanes anymore, why have they been entrusted with rocket science?

[dallasfl]

Boeing needs to do some soul searching

[kellypatterson]

Why is Boeing still in business?! They can't even keep their planes in the sky. They've got no business playing with rockets.

[legette]

This is some real BS. Boeing shouldn't make paper planes, let alone REAL ones.

[commonsense]

My GOD. This is scary.
edit; I mean just imagine. How much they miss their families and vice versa. It was supposed to be a handful of DAYS. I hope they are doing well. ✨

[darkangel]

Until they change their mind again. Boeing needs to stop producing anything. Go back to the engineers and figure it out.

NEWSFLASH: Boeing offer stranded astronauts $300.00 off next flight vouchers 😂😂😂

[brandihammond]

It's a sad state of affairs that we can't just go and get them. My prayers are with them and their families.

[glennmorrell]

In other words, we don’t trust the spacecraft enough to let astronauts ride in it…
