This article seems to be playing up the idea that the astronauts are in some sort of danger, but NASA has repeatedly stressed that is not the case. These extensions are for research and information gathering, so improvements can be made that properly address the issue in the future.
I’ve also lost trust in Boeing, but a lot of the reporting surrounding this mission is starting to get annoying. It almost feels like they want a disaster just so they can write about it.
I like this article on the most recent docking extension more. https://www.space.com/starliner-astronaut-mission-landing-delay-july-2024
Eric Berger’s article which was posted over on !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works is also a good one.
Nonsense. They aren’t stranded and could leave right now if they needed to. The part they are collecting data on isn’t even made to reenter anyways. They aren’t in any danger and they still have plenty of docking time left.
I hope the astronauts make it back okay.
Oh the headline is straight up lies? Publish it anyways.
We complain about ai being a bullshit generator, but I think we couldn’t have come up with anything better.
After all those issues, I am not sure if I would want to travel back to earth in that Boeing contraption.
