Boeing Starliner Finally Coming Back, NASA Confirmed After Requested SpaceX Dragon...
Nasa astronaut duo: Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are about to return home aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
This is considered their most dangerous mission on the world's most dangerous spacecraft.
Starliner incidents from the past to present have raised warnings about the need for lifeboats in case Starliner repeats its own mistakes.
And this led to a 267000 dollar study that Nasa recently funded SpaceX.
So, how to safely transfer astronauts from an accident Starliner to a lifeboat like SpaceX Crew Dragon?
Find out everything in today's Techmap episode.
Boeing Starliner Finally Coming Back, NASA Confirmed After Requested SpaceX Dragon...
On June 5, Starliner finally lifted off successfully with two Nasa astronauts onboard on its third launch attempt after several years of delay with several technical troubles. The original plan is to spend around eight days in orbit as a test-run for the Starliner in its first manned flight, before returning to Earth on June 14.
However, as many people feared, the helium leak which had been not completely resolved before launch, led to other troubles for the vehicle, including four more helium leaks and the thruster failures en route to the ISS.
So have Nasa and Boeing sorted out this mess?
Boeing Starliner Finally Coming Back, NASA Confirmed After Requested SpaceX Dragon...
Well, they haven't, which is why almost two months have passed and the two Nasa astronauts are still not back on Earth. As Nasa and Boeing told the media, this delay was purposeful, meaning they needed to keep the vehicle in space longer to understand more about it, rather than it being stranded. A Boeing spokesperson said that the helium leaks and the majority of the thruster problems on the Starliner spacecraft had been deemed stable and "not a concern" for Starliner's return to Earth.
When one doubted why didn’t call SpaceX’s Crew Dragon to bring astronauts home in time and left Starliner empty in space for research, the official said it was not necessary and those astronauts should stay in orbit to support other tasks there.

"Twenty Six Seven Thousand" - is that a new numbering system? Bypass this one in future, such an insult to intelligence.

[rodneythetall]

Fix your robot talk, "twenty-six seven thousand dollars". come on don't you proof these videos before putting them out?

[rimasmuliolis]

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from Canaveral Port
On Boeing's broken ship

[tanzanos]

Stopped watching the moment the AI voice said "twenty six seven thousand "

[RodCalidge]

It's seems incredible, given the sheer number of problems, delays, and scrubbed launches in modern rocketry, that NASA actually sent men to the moon without any of these concerns

[DRpokeme]

These are useless updates. Repeat of all information. Tells me nothing.

[BulletproofPastor]

I'll be praying for their safe return. I fear Boeing and NASA are more concerned for their reputation than the life of the crew.

[michaelscansaroli]

Stop the click bait. Nothing about SPACEX TO THE RESCUE, as usual.

[KennethScharf]

Were I in NASA, I'd not put crew in another Starliner until they run at least one more unmanned test first!

[Mark_]

Don’t be surprised if they are doing surveys to find out the public’s thoughts on the companies image

[maxdude]

Did Suni Williams ever consider a pony tail or a bun to keep her mop out of everyone's face?

[nikwalker]

A Spx intervention can only be considered while the Starliner is docked to the ISS...it will be to late if they begin preparations for descent.
As soon as they are separated from the ISS they are on their own...either the thrusters will work to orientate the spacecraft attitude or they will not, it will not be feasible or even possible, given orbital mechanics and fuel supply to wait for a Dragon to catch up if they have a recurrence of thruster authority problems, let alone attempt a docking with Dragon at that time, which is probably a technical impossibility anyway.
It is quite obvious that they want Starliner to attempt reentry but with a severely degraded thruster control using minimum input and less firing time...Boeing teams will probably be clustered in the simulators trying to work out which thrusters to use and for how short a burst will be capable of a return or that they can get away with...never mind comfort for the crew, they will obviously be glad just to get them back in one piece despite the rough ride.
If Spx are summoned before Starliner undocking from ISS...that is the end of Starliner and probably Boeing...let alone the waste of more then 4 billion bucks by NASA playing old school and traditional suppliers.

[randyk]

God willing! Boeing needs to get out of space travel.

[raystevens]

So I saw on another Chanel SpaceX Dragan was going to bring home the astronauts home you can't have it both ways.

[briancleveland]

Twenty six seven thousand dollars ? get rid of the robot voice...

[robb]

26 7 thousand dollars teach ur damn AI how to talk

[MindsOfMany]

The fact that it’s Boeing explains everything (they forgot a bolt in the fuel tank)

[Frank-mcge]

Why do robot voices have problems with numbers?

[TheWolfsnack]

They should send the bloody thing back it could be a Columbia

[bobroosa]

Simple I think both astronauts should change their professions from Starliner/ NASA and work for SpaceX
