Boeing Needs To Complete More Testing Before Undocking Starliner

[@ghost307]

Their optimism when talking about Starliner should be tempered with the knowledge of how much trouble they'd be in with their bosses if they said anything disparaging about the capsule.

[@ryanr3737]

"Starliner is a go to return in an emergency." I read this as them saying that if the ISS were going to explode and everybody on board were guaranteed to lose their lives, then they'd roll the dice on returning in Starliner. A very careful choice of words, and not a huge vote of confidence in the spacecraft.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but the very fact that they even mentioned using something besides Starliner, means it's a very strong possibility behind the scenes. Edit: meaning, with how embarrassing this all is for Boeing, there's no way this would be brought up otherwise. Just conjecture.

[@JamesWoood]

Well since we are in conspiracy theory territory, My conspiracy theory is that they are deliberately waiting for the batteries to die, so they can use that as THE excuse. "The batteries have degraded faster than expected" (we'll use another vehicle). That way it's a softer blow rather than all of the other plethora of issues. They can still claim, the vehicle is still "safe" but the batteries died. There's just no way, they have certified it for 45 days then all of a sudden, oh yeah, it can last indefinitely now by the way, surprise! I wish my phone battery could magically last indefinitely all of a sudden. Now yes, when it comes to engineering there are unwritten margins but it would be extremely irresponsible to push into that unknown margin, it's always a hard stop with certified numbers. This aircraft wing can probably bend beyond it's certified load, but let's not go there. This bridge probably can carry a bit more weight that it's certified, but let's not risk that. This bus can surely survive carrying more than capacity but let's not overload it anyway. But with Starliner? all of a sudden we are okay with pushing uncertified margins of battery health? I'm not buying it.

We only want to make sure our battery is not dead yet, and won't be dead in the middle of the journey home, that is why we must stay a little bit longer, to make sure that it won't die on us, to make sure that we will have a full charged battery when we reach home So, please be patience.

They are claiming they are at an operational level, but don't know why the thrusters don't work. These excuses about 'looking at thrusters'' for weeks and weeks just highlight the lack of any real maturity. They aren't getting any more data in space, and are even talking about more testing on the ground - tests that wouldn't be necessary if they knew what was going on. So the key risk issue is, what happens if they disengage from the station and then the thrusters stop working? I would have expected that they autonomously separated the Starliner from the staion, and tested out performance. That way if things stopped working, human's wouldn't be in the frame. And I guess that the Dragon docking at the end of the month is tied to that option.

[@erideimos1207]

Brilliant reporting as usual, thanks! I think all of us are missing a very important point. Shocker: They are stalling and hyping. Human flights have to have extra safety margins. So a crewed return is forbidden and crazy anyway. Therefore, if Suni and Butch do not go home with Starliner, 3 possibilities exist: (1) 2 out of 3 USA astros now on-board volunteer to stay another 6 months, and S+B come home in the next Dargon in August. (2) S+B volunteer to stay for another 6 months and two crew get bounced from the next Dragon, (3) or a combo thereof. [A special Dragon could be sent up or we could ask the Russians or Chinese, but no.] Stich even opened the door saying, "good thing we have two systems to get to the ISS" He meant of course, "Good thing we have one system to get to the ISS that works." Remember Boeing won't have another Starliner ready till summer 2025. And that was to be the first operational, i.e. paying, flight. Boeing will try to claim this flight was good enough for certification, but for a human flight, ya gotta be kidding me. 50/50 this is the last Starliner imo. My point is: If we are going to gift posterity with Starliner/Gilligan's Island theme song memes, we have to do it NOW. 😂🤣😅
