NASA & Boeing's Big Announcement to Return Starliner Capsule. Astronauts on Dragon???
Finally, after 70 days of research and discussions, NASA has made a firm decision regarding the fate of the Starliner spacecraft. But what about the fate of the two astronauts?
All will be in today’s episode of Alpha Tech:

NASA & Boeing's Big Announcement to Return Starliner Capsule. Astronauts on Dragon???
Two astronauts being stranded in space might sound like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster, but for two NASA crew members, it has now become a reality. Commander Barry Wilmore and pilot Sunita Williams are currently in limbo aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Meanwhile, the concluding meetings are still ongoing, with the most recent one held on August 14th. The space agency provided an update on Boeing Starliner’s troubled test mission, and fortunately, in this meeting, we finally received some useful information about the ill-fated spacecraft, often referred to as the 'Stuckliner.'
During the meeting, NASA finally set a return date for the cursed spacecraft. According to a famous space journalist whom I greatly admire, Eric Berger, he said, “NASA’s tentative date for Starliner’s undocking from the International Space Station is September 6, whether the spacecraft is crewed or not.”
This means that whether the two astronauts are on board the Starliner to return or not, the spacecraft must undock from the space station by September 6th. This also extends the original test mission, planned for 8 days starting June 5th, to a total of 12 weeks, precisely 93 days.

In fact, the Starliner's batteries were only designed to hold energy for 45 days, and Boeing and NASA have found a way to double the stay time to 90 days. However, since more than six weeks have passed, the batteries have been recharged at the station, but they can only continue to provide power for a limited time before they completely fail.
This is an extremely urgent situation, leading NASA to possibly lose confidence in the new spacecraft’s capabilities.
Instead, Ken Bowersox, deputy administrator of NASA’s Space Operations Mission Directorate, announced that before the end of August, NASA would conduct a high-level flight readiness review to make a final decision on the fate of Starliner.
The specific decision will determine whether the two astronauts will return on Starliner or if they will stay on Dragon until 2025 for their return. “It's a fairly major discussion to decide about whether or not we're going to have a crew on board Starliner for return,” Bowersox said. “We’ve got time available before we bring Starliner home and we want to use that time wisely. We're expecting that the data analysis will be ready for a … flight readiness review around the end of next week, potentially the beginning of the following week.”

sad state of affairs that the politicians would rather see the two astronauts die than as Musk for help.

What, NASA may possibly lose confidence in the Boeing Starliner? Is that fair? It got its crew to the ISS. Like a boy scout who helps old ladies halfway across a busy street.

I wouldn't trust Boeing with a paper plane.

So Starliner Max is on its way back? Time to break out the popcorn and watch the skies.
If I were one of those astronauts I wouldn’t go near that POS..

The solution to avoid watching a lenghty video where the news you want to get is given only at the end of it is to stop listening to it and wait 48 hours to get the news.

Testing the rescue systems is also important than the flight space missions.

I remember a movie made in the 1970s called "Marooned". I never thought I'd see that plot really come to pass. If NASA kills the astronauts with that damned junk spacecraft Congress needs to defund NASA.

Boeing and NASA have decided to decide something eventually, or perhaps not, meaning a decision might be made about something, someday, provided they have not made another decision, if a decision could be made, or perhaps not.

Time for Spacex to prove their capabilities and put together a rescue mission.

The crane didn't fail they had to break it down to add another boom to make it tall enough to stack the last segments on the tower. They specifically communicated this ahead of time.

Sierra Space looks way more promising than Boeing. Boeing is not the same company it was 30 years ago and they show no signs of getting better.

When I watched your channel for the first time regarding Starliner, I was impressed. Five posts later, it was the same rehashed information with some maybe, might, could remarks like it was breaking news. Please post new documented info!!

Hmmm Didn't Boeing have confidence in selling their Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft?... We have seen how that's gone... so they are willing, after 90 days of failures to diagnose and correct problems, to put two live humans in a defective capsule and GAMBLE they'll make it back to earth in good condition... "alive"... There had better be a $50 Million Life Insurance Policy on each of them... I would believe that those two are NOT Military and I'd refuse to get back into that capsule... what are they going to do, fire them?... the bad publicity would cripple Boeing...

Why don't they hook up a camera to the Canada Arm and inspect the service module?

Boeing's fall is criminal, in many respects.

why not send a extra dragon round trip? cheaper than spending on Boeing send restock on it
