Boeing & NASA Finally Called on SpaceX Dragon to Rescue Astronauts
NASA and Boeing finally found the root cause of the issues on the Boeing Starliner during its flight in early June.
To be honest, the result is not optimistic, given that a key element could not be fixed in this mission.
As a result, the big egos of the officials had to be lowered and SpaceX Dragon was called in to help.
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
But before we begin, let's subscribe to the channel to stay up-to-date with the latest space news.
Boeing & NASA Finally Called on SpaceX Dragon to Rescue Astronauts
Under pressure from public opinion, Nasa ultimately acknowledged that SpaceX Crew Dragon could be a lifeboat for Boeing Starliner spacecraft stuck in space.
Indeed, this is part of Nasa's recent moves to prepare for the failure of the Starliner CFT mission during descent.
They are now reviewing the backup options including using other capsules to get the astronauts home safely, and this is the top priority. There's one Crew Dragon currently docked at the station, and another one is slated to launch with a fresh crew next month.
Steve Stich, the manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, mentioned that the team has "dusted off" plans originally developed when the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, which carried NASA astronaut Frank Rubio to the International Space Station, developed a coolant leak. This mission is known as Soyuz MS-22.
Boeing & NASA Finally Called on SpaceX Dragon to Rescue Astronauts
The preliminary plans were drawn up to potentially bring NASA astronaut Frank Rubio down on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule if necessary. However, the Russians launched a replacement Soyuz spacecraft, and these plans were not needed. Rubio and his crewmates, Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin, as a result, had to stay in orbit for several more months until they returned to Earth on the new Soyuz spacecraft.

what BS, will NOT watch Tech Map again!

I would think twice about using a toilet made by Boeing.

[andywray]

Your title for this video was just click-bait. Your content in the second half of the video was actually quite accurate though. Please don't fall into the trap of others on-line of misleading people just to get them on to your stream.

[clarencehopkins]

There is no excuse for Boeings product not working as proposed. This can only be described as a total failure and HUGE waste of of taxpayer money and time .

[stevercarter]

Both NASA and Boeing have allowed this to happen. They both pushed decisions that they knew were wrong before the launch. Why? Because they didn’t want to be embarrassed 😳.

[myfavoritemartian]

So...they are still testing and have not decided anything! LIARS!

[Robert-tozv]

Just get our astronauts home safely! No big egos needed!

[zoltanposfai]

A valve in a rocket engine that was not tested for pressure and heat? Who could have anticipated those circumstances?!? And only from a meagre couple of billions budget with no option to add a few more. You can't expect such foresight from a company that has been building rockets for several decades... 🙄

[UtahBlender]

The final flight readiness review won’t pass. Who would sign their name to that and have two astronauts burn up on the ride home? Nobody who wants to keep their job!

[michaelbouldin]

This is the same BS we have been hearing for months. Time to bring them back home in a Space X vehicle. This is getting

[rickrasmussen]

Click Bait Title. I'm disappointed.

[r.a.monigold]

Smell that? Did you step in something? 
No - I think that's Boeing SH!T. - Didn't you mean BULL SH!T ?
Not when they're talking about Stariner's leaks.

[halalbach]

I don't get it. They are testing thrusters here on the ground to verify that the ones docked on the ISS will function properly? The capsule at the ISS has undergone a launch and endured tremendous vibrations, shocks, and G-Forces, while the capsule still on the ground is just sitting there poofing it's thrusters and says all is well. Someone please make some sense out of this.

[inktownfishing]

I thought that the US was the most innovative space exploration leader...guess I was wrong! I'm sure the next NASA astronauts are having second thoughts about boarding next month.

[fritzeder]

Teflon has no spring effect. If the parts in which the seal is embedded shrink/expand due to thermal expansion/contraction the seal looses contact with the part in which it is embedded and leaks.

[dustup]

I feel bad for any astronaut that is going to be forced to trust Boeing with their lives.

After NASA was forced to accept a career politician director appointed by a cognitively impaired president, and the seemingly constantly mounting death count of airline travelers attributed to Boeing design and corporate culture, I must say that Trump needs to intervene and make an executive order banning Boeing Starliner from launches from American soil.

[cococalm]

Test away and do more tests. Seeing that the return is automated, then keep on testing. Get SpaceX up there to bting the astronauts back safely. Then bring the Starliner back. If it makes it back, cool. if not, you have saved two valuable lives. Is Boeing and NASA really willing to play ruzzian roulette with these 2 astronauts lives ?

[stephenallen]

Boeing starliner has so many bugs it is a death trap

[ronaldlee]

Boeing today is not the same Boeing 20 years ago, they has lost many of their highly-paid senior engineers through layoffs, and replaced with younger, low-paid ones.

[l.ls.]

This near catastrophic situation should now after all these decades mandate when a spacecraft with astronauts go aloft a backup rocket be available for emergencies.
