Imagine the astronauts and their families, how is it possible for this to happen just a few kilometers from the surface of the Earth? It doesn’t leave much confidence in the systems we currently have available. If they can’t even rescue these poor souls, let alone talk about expanding into space, occupying the Moon, going to Mars… With this news, when they talk about these topics, only we will want to laugh!

Man, just imagine you’re all excited about your eight day trip into space and then finding out you might be there six months. It’s a very different decision if you got to make it in advance. But then having no agency about it and just having to tough it out would be awful.

This sure sounds like they are stranded.

Sort of. It’s more like the risk of returning in Starliner might be higher than 1/270, and NASA wants to be cautious.

What in the fuck. Can Boeing be permanently disqualified as a NASA supplier moving forward?

They’re too big to fail, so they’ll continue stealing from tax payers en mass until a non corporate whore does something about it.

Seize the means of production. Honestly, that private businesses have been allowed to exist has been one of the greatest mistakes in American history.
