Boeing is finished as a reliable anything.

Boeing huh, at least the doors didn’t fall off on the way

This is sad can you imagine being stranded up there for months and months away from your families. And the longer in space the more your bones and muscles and body deteriorates and more risk. Hope this country can find a way to get them back home sooner.

There will be a Hollywood movie in a couple of year time.

Why are the space shuttle and the sls rocket included graphics? They are irrelevant to the current situation. Lazy.

[Fevebblefester]

So they can only go back in the vehicle that brought them? Can’t another provider get them and bill Boeing?

[polyuniverse]

Not a single photo or video clip of the Boeing Starliner in the video. This is no emergency, could still come back on Starliner or Dragon. Saying they “WILL” need an alternative way home is inaccurate since NASA has not made a definite decision yet, but will soon. Dragon is ready to go to bring crew 9 to ISS and could be used to return astronauts. Also there is a dragon capsule currently docked to, the ISS that will be returning crew 8. In an emergency, stranded astronauts could return in Crew 8’s Dragon capsule strapped in the cargo area. Not optimal but possible.

When they will return, they will have a little Alien with them.

Let me guess how this will play out:
Astronauts get stranded in space for a year.
The CEO will give himself a pay rise.

I know this is a BBC video... but accent and pronunciation of this guy killed me totally... 🤣

[janfilby]

Space Shuttle has been retired for 13 years, wrong video segment choice. But yeah Boeing has f#k up here, imo it's deserved

[lawrencenannes]

We pray for them to return safe to their families😢❤❤❤

[poisonresistance]

I forgot the name of the guy but he was working for the soviets Anne was stuck up there for almost a year or two

[elspeth]

I hope they can get them back before February!

[warmsunnytoday]

As a psychic, I am getting that they never even took off and definately are not stuck in space. Is this one military contractor bad mouthing another to get a contract. Perhaps more research is needed on this story. Maybe the journalist can spend a couple more weeks investigating this story more.

[matthinz]

How do they have enough food and water to survive that long?

[keithdenyer]

Should be easy to send a ship to retreive them these days .from any space agency.

[samsmith]

I hope the BBC writers realize there are two summers on the planet every year....

[michaeloppenheimer]

Well at least they made it safely to the space station wherere they can stay for an extended period of time if need be.

If Jeff Bezos could concrete on his space projects instead of lawsuits, he could be the competitor to SpaceX and also help these astronauts. Now maybe only SpaceX is the only option.
