Dont worry, the doors are welded shut

[@juliancrooks3031]

Maybe SpaceX can give the Boeing crew a map in case they get lost on the way to the ISS 😁

SpaceX Dragon Capsule has been sending astronauts to the ISS

[@Captain_Jebediah]

They’re talking about Starliner

[@SV-cg3sk]

@@Captain_Jebediah I'm aware of that, I'm pointing out how the job has been getting done because its not referenced in this video

[@Captain_Jebediah]

@@SV-cg3sk oh, ok

[@UncleKennysPlace]

@@SV-cg3sk Except, of course, _in the first five seconds of this video._

[@SV-cg3sk]

@@UncleKennysPlace There is no mention of Dragon Capsule in the SpaceX communications sample

[@animered1986]

It is of utmost importance that we prioritize the safety of astronauts in space missions. The current state of the Boeing capsule does not ensure their safety, despite the work done on it. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct further tests on the capsule without the crew to confirm its safety. Considering Boeing's previous safety record, it would be unsafe to permit crew transportation without thorough testing and confirmation of its safety. Let's prioritize human lives and make safety our top priority.

Better check the bolts on the door.

[@alexdasliebe5391]

They’re all going to be un-alived … either by the Boeing part or the agents if they whistle-blow about the part that will fail

[@juliancrooks3031]

I hope they check the door bolts before takeoff

[@patrickjreid]

Seriously, two Boeing whistle blowers have been un-alived in two months. Only those properly and sufficiently bribed think it's an accident.

[@airdiggity]

The Sketchball Express.

[@Hjnn-fq6og]

Love NASA ❤❤ 🌠

[@galotorres8741]

If is Boeing , you shouldn’t be going. When a company is focused on profit and not innovation. Good luck guys you are going to need it .

[@patrickjreid]

Is anyone else hoping Boeing built the starliner with better doors than their jets?

[@mikeking6123]

Someone tell Williams that Starliner is not a "moonship".

[@spitfirekid1]

I would love to fly the T38…

[@LuciFeric137]

Dang. Hopefully this thing got fixed. NASA is rushing again.

[@Phuqr]

Another day I don't want to be an astronaut, last one was Feb 1 2003

[@ml.2770]

Check to make sure the door is on properly. Just sayin'.

[@tooltroll]

. . . or the bottom of the Atlantic. . . whatever the software decides.

[@JobberSteve]

Why don't you call a spade a spade and provide the cost per seat. Who wouldn't want to ride a Bentley compared to a pinto.

[@Fireblot8826]

They should pack a spare roll of that flammable tape.

[@user-qj1ru6ix3h]

NASA, Boeing has a problem. Some bolts are missing. Might lose an exit door.

[@davidbeetham8481]

From Boeing: Houston & Nasa & Spacex - We have a problem, no buttons are working & we smell smoke.....

[@felonious_monk1972]

“What could go wrong?” - Gus Grissom

[@felonious_monk1972]

Oh, I mean, sure, why not? I mean their planes have proven to be completely reliable. Let’s send something Boeing built in to space. Unmanned I hope.

[@wisemanofsorts6068]

Nope this is a manned test flight....

[@greg1769]

Another Boeing Disaster about to happen.

[@relaxrelax3772]

Waste of taxpayer money.

[@Thrakerzog]

And they're launching yet another DEI into orbit just for the propaganda. 🙄

[@Atheos-1]

It'd be DEI, ONLY IF CLUELESS CLOWNS LIKE YOU WERE ALLOWED TO GO.

[@LuciFeric137]

Yeah. NASA was better when it was run by not sees, right professor?
