NASA Reveals NEW Plan to Return Stranded Astronauts to Earth | E! News

[@steverodgers333]

What the heck is wrong with Boeing? Stay away from anything Boeing.

[@ZZ-ic4vk]

Diversity is our strength! No promises on its flying abilities though

[@JamesOberg]

What about the congressional committee on space program oversight, that was supposed to enforce quality control on NASA and its contractors? They were the ultimate authority. Why did they approve NASA/Boeing's preparatory testing? Who the heck was their chairperson, anyway?

[@dimitriwoiciechowski6561]

Who cares? They are not stuck on a titanic.

[@0101-s7v]

Everything you have "seen" has been carefully managed, so that means next to nothing. I agree with bringing them home safely. They never should have gone up on Starliner in the first place.

[@0101-s7v]

Everything they put out is carefully managed, so that doesn't mean much. They never should have went up on Starliner to begin with.

[@djk0125]

It will take a long time for those two astronauts to recover from such a long stay in space. I hope they'll be ok.

Boeing. What a load of crap!!!

[@LazyIRanch]

Oh, is that Boeing's new company slogan? It's perfect!😟

[@AMERICANPATRIOT1945]

@LadyMetatronz, It is so easy to armchair quarterback some of the finest engineers, technicians, and assembly workers Earth. Join the team and see if you can design a better crew capsule from scratch the way Boeing was required to. Otherwise, don't be so quick to second guess the very best in the world in their own field. These things and far worse happen when new technology is being tested.

[@ZZ-ic4vk]

What new technology? Taking 2 people to the station and back? Wow. .... What an enormous challenge no one evere managed to accomplish before! Dude ... please...

[@AMERICANPATRIOT1945]

@@ZZ-ic4vk , The new technology wasn't developed to take people to and from the ISS. It is being developed for advanced manned Moon and Mars missions. So yes, there is a lot of new and untested tech on the Boeing crew capsule. It is better to have these problems in an environment such as the ISS with backup than on a trip to the moon and mars. That is why they flew to the ISS- to test the capsule and work out the bugs before going to the Moon and Mars. I lived through the early lunar programs and there were a lot of failures there as well, some of them fatal. Just look up the Grissom, White, and Chaffe deaths from a fire on Apollo 1. This is also easy to criticize in 20/20 hindsight. It was caused by faulty wiring in a pure oxygen environment. Pogo oscillations resulting from combustion instability were also a huge problem with the massive F1 engines for the Saturn V booster. And so were literally thousands of other issues that had to be worked out. Don't be so quick to criticize others as a matter of armchair quarterbacking and bandwagon. Even better, if you believe that you can do better, join the team!

[@deftones8717]

@@LazyIRanchor they could go with, “what goes up, must come down…… unless you’re an astronaut aboard Boeing’s Starliner, that is.” Has a nice ring to it, don’t ya think? lol

[@MEOWMIX305]

This has to be the stupidest agency on this planet.....needs to be shut down...asap! what a waste of money!

[@kaxndr1674]

If NASA's core value was SAFETY, they would not have launched the Boeing Starliner when they did. There were quite a few concerns about the capsule, but they went ahead-bowing to pressures being applied due to the huge cost overruns and being way past their target launch dates.

[@clooaan]

Well said. Mainstream media give NASA a pass every time. NASA and Boeing are equally inept on this and propping each other up.

[@straden79]

Amazing another win for spaceX

[@paulroberts7429]

My brother might be it he worked as an aircraft mechanic for Boeing he says within 10 years their planes are gonna start falling apart. We saw that happen with Alaska airlines not too long ago

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

They need to get them back before they run out of Oxygen!

[@EvilWizardWeedSheeee]

They can have supplies delivered to them they aren't gonna run out of oxygen

[@dimitriwoiciechowski6561]

lol 😂good one

[@ZZ-ic4vk]

Forget Oxygen - send more Diversity!

[@4thdoctor284]

So those two astronauts will run out of oxygen but the rest of the crew on the ISS will be just fine, plenty of air. Are those 2 being singled out and their O2 supply is being rationed? You clearly didn't get enough oxygen and as a result the contents of your skull clearly shriveled into something that looks like a cat horked it up on the carpet.

[@OddlyBoBo7]

I'm sure the Starliner crew would like a change of underwear as a priority. They were sent up without any change of clothing.

What a joke! Lost 2 shuttles because they don’t care about safety. Lost first shuttle because they just had to launch in Florida in 30* Temps even the people who make the orings told them it was to cold. Lost the second shuttle because they said foam can’t damage the shuttle enough to hurt it even though it happened every launch. Like boeing, all of the sudden they care about safety. Unbelievable!

Was this Mission so beneficial to mankind that people would risk their lives knowing full well there was no guaranteed return policy for them? Maybe astronauts ought to start rethinking about going into space for their government. I thought only third world dictators treated their citizens like this

[@kingbullyrock8739]

[@MikeF-op4gs]

Have the president of Boeing go up there and get the two!! See if he has any balls after saying his core value is safety!! Wouldn't go 2 miles in a Boeing jet, let alone thousands and thousands of miles in space!! How did that company get any kind of nasa contract with their track record !! Those two astronauts are very brave to even get in that thing and go up there!! They should be very well compensated by Boeing but I doubt it!!!

[@matthewcaughey8898]

Boeing owes space X for the cost to return the astronauts from the ISS and they owe the us taxpayers 4.2 billion dollars for delivering a defective spacecraft. This thing is definitely a lemon and under the lemon law Boeing technically has to buy it back at full retail

[@TheEleventeen]

My grandma is trying to get an approval from nasa to step in and help out in these difficult and challenging times. While doing her regular trampoline jumps, it just happens that her trajectory crosses the space station’s orbit. She can make a quick stop at a gas station and pick up some cheese burgers and Mountain Dew to deliver it to our precious “astro-not’s”. We are still waiting for a reply from nasa, because there’s so many Mountain Dew flavors to choose from, and also, do they want onions with their burgers ? I guess in a worst case scenario if we don’t get a reply any time soon, we’ll just get the onions on the side. They’ll just not be as juicy though…
