Starliner Leaves the ISS - The Flame Trench

[@jongeo]

That's got to be a weird feeling watching your ride take off without you while in space.

Nice to see Sawyer! Hope you are doing well man.

[@StardustYT]

I really love this show, keep it up!

[@StardustYT]

Pronouced "Canopay" ;)

[@corrinastanley125]

Thanks NSF team great stream, and Ali Demirci rocked it too.

[@JackABeyer]

Seriously! Ali rocks!

[@Grandwigg]

Continuingly competent cohort of congenial co-hosts courting climbing coverage of celestial conveyances . That clean me out of my alliteration fodder for the week. I hate I missed the live stream but I'm glad it was available to watch I can't wait to see what this week provided. I imagine the (currently returned) Starliner discussions were fun.

[@davehester7349]

I have more respect for Nasa at this point, for not placing more lives in jeopardy just for the sake of scedules.

2:01:00 zoning guy here, in many jurisdictions, residential (at least single-family detached) is allowed by right in most districts aside from heavy industrial. That said, Starbase is technically not an incorporated municipality, leaving Cameron County as the local government authority. In Texas, counties typically don't have any zoning authority, though, iirc, Cameron County was given a carve out that mostly just applies to South Padre Island.

[@minibeefcake]

Yay sawyer is back! Hope all goes well for your recovery

[@Grandwigg]

1:48:22 I have been loving the narrated versions of the Starbase videos! And I TOTALLY get the Noir vibe. As for it being a good day to Das, I bet an llm could handle the language conversion fairly well, especial if it gets a special dictionary for the more niche terms acronyms and such. taH pagh taHbe (that is the question before the team about Klingon translaions for the dailyish Starbase videos.) Qapla'

[@SodThisGiveMeABeer]

Always love seeing Jack and Sawyer on the flame trench

[@philb5593]

If Starliner needed another test flight I think NASA would just cancel mission 6. While NASA has ordered mission 6, they have not begun payments or work on the mission, so probably not that huge of a deal to cancel it. Remember the original contract was for 2 operational missions with the option for up to 6. NASA did order the extra 4 missions back in Dec 2016, but they only have to start work 32 months before the launch

[@timothyreed7241]

I'm surprised that they sent it back. I guess there's enough room in the other reentry vessels to accommodate the two extra astronauts. If a debris emergency happens, they have to get in the reentry vessels, so if a collision were to occur, they have a safe way home.

[@xinyuyang4613]

At the moment, this vessel doesn’t seem like a safe way home👀 and having a redundant NDS available might be the safer option

[@ghost307]

Dragon has a lot of room inside.

[@Grandwigg]

Alternative ride home available, and 'parking space' berths and such are becoming an issue. At least the return seemed to be successful Idk what's had been learned in the short time since it's landing. I'd anything since safing from hypergolic fumes and such has to be done, than rigging and transport have to be done before any in depth Investigations. It's probably already known now if passengers/could / have safely returned. ( /Should/ is a longer discussion and investigation). Still, I can't wait for what we learn. I want it to survive as a viable, reliable, and regular vehicle for redundancies and such. And a long shot stretch hope would be for all the above, and cost savings along with reliability and such. In my admitted somewhat ignorant (at least as far the details and engineering go) opinion, I feel like the issues and efficiencies are a work culture issue risen from antiquated funding methodology. There are certainly intelligent and skilled people that can solve the ' problem ' of spaceflight vehicles, as evidence by the vehicles of the past and present. So in my opinion it's an engineering problem to be solved, and theoretically solvable. And generally once processes are figured out and standardized within a manufacturing environment, costs can come down. Yes, this is an EXTREME stretch given Boeing's reputation, I can hope for this end result. Even if I honestly don't expect much beyond basic contact fulfillment, assuming they quickly find and remediate issues at the lowest level necessarily- design, manufacturing, assembly. . .

[@Ihavenooriginalideas]

Time to watch this because I just missed it

[@ghettotoyota]

LoL so hopeful that starliner doesn't fail on reentry. Engineers already believe that it can't maintain enough re-entry thrusters, pretty that equals uncontrolled re-entry....

Greetings from the future. -Das

[@chrisbettis7395]

To the viper rant. Imagine how those of us who worked on Viper feel about it.

[@JackABeyer]

I cant even. I’m so sorry NASA did yall so dirty. ❤ Ames!!!

[@Harald-]

Starliner is stuck to the ISS. They'll have to stop at Home Depot to pick up a Sawzall!

[@michaelpowell1460]

And here we go

[@t.b.a.r.r.o.]

Even a leaky lift raft is better than no life raft. They should have wait till rescue was on site to skuttle the only available escape ship.

[@riparianlife97701]

They needed the hatch.

[@Harald-]

Starliner may have developed some unknown liability to ISS forcing the departure.

[@Bratfalken]

​@@Harald- if Nasa can't trust it clearing the station if it stayes any longer, then it's definitly time to go! I bet those sounds was jaring to them!

[@frankyjayhay]

I thought that too. There'd be enough fuel to position it outside the no-entry zone and keep it there until crew 9 arrived. Have they learned nothing from the Titanic?

And the bit they need to look at and check out was jetisoned on the way down - brilliant!! lol

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

You could hear in her voice her concern for its safe flight back to earth. I'll bet she's pleased they aren't on it. As much as I hope it makes a safe recovery, I'm expecting it not to. It already appeared to be having problems after it departed the ISS.

[@gordonwelcher9598]

A long black hair was discovered wrapped around the mechanism of a critical helium valve.

[@xstaticelite1640]

The 2+ Billion is JUST for the launcher. You can't compare that to SpaceX's Starbase operations spending over $1 or $2 b/y. They're building multiple launchers, boosters, upperstages, manufacturing for the largest rocket ever, office building, mission control, and they're expanding their Starbase operations all the time. It'd be more apples to apples to compare the ENTIRE SLS and Orion project to Starbase and starship. Especially since both are required to land people on the moon.

[@QuasistellarNymphomaniac]

I'm interested in this 'aftershow' you mentioned, do I get to see all of them when becoming member or just the current one?

[@Knossos22]

I so want to hear Das' voice speaking Klingon!!! Someone needs to do an automatic translation A.I.

[@Grandwigg]

Not Das, but the Klingon Hamlet on YT is pretty good. Its fairly old, so the quality suffers a bit. But it's enjoyable.

How far away is the “spaceplane”?

It will make it back safely,and then they will wish they went home

[@pstaires]

Has Starliner returned to earth/white sands?

[@totally_lost1602]

Probability ... was a successful Starliner return only projected as a 25% chance of success and they got lucky, or was a successful Starliner return projected with 90% chance of success and they still got lucky to miss the real 10% chance of crew loss?

Boeing got jipped here big time

[@BeforeBuildQC]

Except they went well over their budget, and well past the projected time frame? They actually got special treatments and failed to provide an adequate space craft.

"Flame Trench" is probably going to be an unfortunate and predictive name for the Starliner.

[@ronwade5646]

Flame Trench or Smoking Hole? Bwaaaahhaaa!

[@michaeljohn5175]

I think Boeing is playing chicken with Sierra Nevada on who is going to pay ULA to rate Vulcan for human spaceflight. At the end of the day, I think they are both going to pay half the cost.

[@AECRADIO1]

'BOING' needs better quality control..
