BREAKING: Boeing Starliner lands back on Earth without astronauts ending troubled test flight

The Boeing capsule, named Calypso, returned to Earth early this morning (Sept. 7), touching down in the New Mexico desert at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 GMT; 11:01 p.m. local time on Sept. 6).
The landing was long-delayed, coming more than three months into an orbital mission originally expected to last about 10 days. And, while Starliner launched with two NASA astronauts aboard - Williams and Butch Wilmore - nobody rode it home.
It wasn't supposed to end like this.

Interesting Starliner update : Just confirmed that there will be no Boeing representatives at the post-landing Starliner news conference. (John Shannon and Mark Nappi were originally supposed to be here). Asked NASA why. Response: "You'll have to ask them." Hmmm.

It's seemingly a last minute change because there were five chairs set up at the news conference here at JSC, and they just removed two seats right now.

They prob said fk it we are done. Starliner is done. Cancel the contract. Boeing is not skilled enough to compete in space any longer. 🤣

[@therupeeroompod]

What a wild ride. Starliner is back to earth safely, with no crew on board, for its third time now. I’m curious what all they’ll discover with all the data they got free flying and reentering.

[@user-cz5kd7mw4h]

Ничего не понятно . Всё покрыто тайной . А можно здесь пукнуть .... Эхо ответило ; ты хоть обосрись ! Мы здесь три дня и три ночи . Машина сломалась , есть что нибудь покушать ? 😮

[@therupeeroompod]

Wait a minute. Am I the only one who was expected a sea landing for the Starliner?

[@Davo32795]

Starliner is designed to land on land. It can land in the ocean but it will only do that in emergency situation, like a launch abort. All starliner flight Have ended on land

[@strongchallenger2269]

Lol... No confidence to land on land if those 2 were on board. They are gonna get killed! Since there is no astronaut, just land on dry land.

[@Davo32795]

@@strongchallenger2269 ? This is what Starliner was designed to do. Also the plan even with humans on board was to land on dry land. .

[@PointOrView]

An undesirable end to the long Starliner saga concluding CFT. Awaiting the official announcement about the long term fate of the Boeing Starliner project.

[@kmich7660]

Breaking? Yes, the hearts of astronauts' families.

[@KenJackson_US]

Boeing used to be known for quality, safety and reliability. Wow. All gone. Toast.

[@ChangZhengHour]

Finally Boeings misery ends. Now for the investigation. NASA will not go easy on Boeing. The future of Starliner is still uncertain.

[@slimfoodie9480]

Oh man. What the saga. While it has ended I am not sure how I feel about the Starliner program. Hope nasa investigates the hell out of it.

[@topazsunbelt5458]

Where is the footage about rockets still firing when landed??? Don’t waste my time showing endless meaninglessness videos!!!

[@PIT72100]

RIP for the astronauts ... .🙏🙏

[@abdulrahmanhajiabdulrahim5230]

Looks safe enough starliner flight back to earth. Who left the astronauts lost in space ? Shouldn't NASA be investigated ? Surely nasa makes the call for leaving the astronauts out there.

[@michelwong1]

haha~~~~~~~ waste of $$$$$ & time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@weewahgan6922]

Love the way the Starliner lands.

[@dphuntsman]

One of the positives of Starliner: landing on land. - Dave Huntsman

[@GladAstra]

Suni and Butch would have probably been safe to land with Starliner. Now they’re stuck on ISS for many months. They must be kicking themselves. 🤣

[@bentony7548]

they had lost a chance to be alive heroes 😅

[@PointOrView]

It was determined to be too risky. Better safe than sorry. Better late than ever.

[@mijmijrm]

If only i sold everything i have and put it all on black 17.

[@dphuntsman]

No, they are not kicking themselves. These are pros, and they’ve significantly increased the amount of work being done on the ISS with their presence. Trust me; as someone who worked with the astronaut office for many, many years, asking them to stay in space longer than the one week planned is Not a hardship. - Dave Huntsman

[@coachlawlor]

If it's not BOEING, I'm not GOING!🤔🤨🧐🤯

[@PointOrView]

🤣

[@RuggedRockProduction]

Who forgot to shut the door ?

[@TheAnjan12345]

The hatch door supposed to retract by the astronaut.

[@ChangZhengHour]

Wait what are those chutes landing separately towards the end. Landing independently after the capsule has landed. What sorcery is this?

[@othmanmajid6380]

Droge shuts, they were the initial breaking chutes😊...follow the commentary😅

[@dphuntsman]

Those are the drogue chutes deciding to continue to travel back to Florida on their own……

[@muralitharannarayanan7340]

Why the hatch is opened?should it be closed?

[@fingerprint8479]

A complete failure will be named a success if it lands in one piece... Even living the passengers behind! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@samyomondi]

nothing to be happy about when our brothers haven't returned 😮

[@vincentweiss5120]

Is there any burning marks on the body？

[@user-cz5kd7mw4h]

Где это чудо совершенства ? Не успели привести . 50 лет ждём хоть что нибудь с Луны , на неделе подвезут ?

[@gengwanwong8783]

What a set back spaces engineers and scientists 😂. The world is laughing loud.

[@user-iq2yp1dn1q]

Boeing was right

[@obiwan5781]

But still can't land on the moon with today's technology

[@tonbopro]

well it comes to mind， would they have survived the landing ？without all the bad press？

[@pinballpsycho]

Looks good.

[@ngg9544]

Made in 🇺🇸 😂😂😂 no wonder plug with so many technical issues

[@PatrickLesiecki]

This video looks so fake & staged. The Gemini & Apollo "landings", with allegedly inferior (compared to today) photography & filming cameras & equipment, provided much better images.

[@lugwrench9832]

Ok, so much for the manufactured panic.
