And to be perfectly fair, when commercial crew contracts were awarded, SpaceX had already built and launched a fresh new design for an ISS dockable capsule and already had plans to make it crew ready regardless of NASA funding. I don't think SpaceX would have completed Crew Dragon in the time they did if they weren't already as ahead as they were. On the flip side, I kinda feel like Boeing may have felt they needed to rush to catch up and stay on top of the, then, underdog launch provider. Careful and steady wins the race.

This has to be what they are discussing. Do they trust Starliners thrusters and maneuvering systems enough to put a manned crew inside it for re-entry? I think no matter what happens, Starliner is done. This will be its last flight. Boeing is seeing increasing bi-partisan disdain on Capital Hill. I can almost guarantee that they will be debating cutting further Starliner funding. And Boeing wants to see the back end of it. It was a fixed price contract that they are upside down on. They’ve already burned through what they were paid. But need to complete the contract on their dime or face massive penalties. Remember Boeing got 2-3x what SpaceX got from Dragon. If Starliner comes home empty Boeing almost certainly gets hit with huge contract penalties as NASA washes its hands of the thing. If the 2 doomed souls somehow make it back to earth they can at least claim enough success to avoid any contract penalties when it gets cut for budget reasons. And let’s not forget, they need to qualify it on a new Rocket System regardless. Because Boeing used Russian Engines.

Same mentality that NASA had that led to the Challenger disaster. They had data that should the O-Rings were not validated for performance at the existing launch temperatures. They made the decision based upon schedule pressure, ignoring existing data and engineering push back. A company that is pushing the envelopes of safety cannot have that sort of mentality.

[@cbspock1701]

[@mbeware]

To learn. That is also how spaceX is doing thing. They try and improve instead of building a "perfect" version on the first go. While "try, learn, improve, repeat" is not the usual way of boeing/NASA of doing things, I assume it is not the first time they use sub-nominal situation to learn. And NASA need at least 2 differents vehicules to service the space station. If a major flaw is found in a design (like we saw on the space shuttle), they can't afford to be without a launch vehicule. Having 2 or more design is the way to go. Finaly, while I am not that good at reading feelings, I sense a lot of hostility against Boeing in the comments. I am also a SpaceX fan, but a successfull Starliner diminish in nothing the incredible accomplishments of SpaceX.

Boeing is bullshitting. Being a rocket scientist myself, I can assure you they know the root cause. But fixing it would require firing people fairly high up the hierarchy, and companies like Boeing almost never do that. They need time to concoct a semi-convincing cover story. Fact is, a human-rated capsule has a design process 10 times more anal than an airliner's, with traceability of decisions and actions all the way down to single lines of code or individual screws. Boeing would rather protect a few employees who don't deserve their jobs, than do the right thing... because Boeing execs set the rules and they are exactly the kind of person who would need to get fired. FFS even an upstart like Musk managed to make a reliable space capsule while fighting flame wars on social networks. I'd say it's not rocket science except of course it is, but you get what I'm saying.

With the problems with starliner becoming more evident, its not hard to understand how NASA's negligence led to the deaths of multiple astronauts in the Columbia and challenger tragedies. You would think that they'd be a little more cautious with manned spacecraft by this point. But i guess when the shot callers are personally benefitting from their stock holdings in certain companies, they will continue to promote those companies as much as possible, even at the risk to the lives of others.

It's just broken...jettison it and send a SpaceX capsule up to get the crew back to Earth.

[@joehiden7475]

That is the only sane response. Call Elon, get a commitment then attempt sending Starliner back empty. They cannot look much worse. The mission has already failed. It can only get worse from here.This is what happens when two competing companies build the same product without the full benefits of lessons learned. This is not a game! Boeing is getting close to never recovering their name whereas they could look safety conscious by getting Dragon to bring back the astronauts safely. It would go a long way with me showing they are more concerned with human life versus the almighty dollar. Right now I would not trust anything that went up higher that 2 ft above ground level made by this company.

It may even be too dangerous to jettison because with the malfunctioning thrusters it could destroy the ISS as soon as it‘s not attached securely.

There's talk of bringing them back on Dragon. It's not that easy. Those suits will not plug in to Dragon and they do not fit the seats. All of those suits are custom made to each individual. It's not a matter of devising an adapter. This was talked about a few months ago when Soyuz had problems and there was an American astronaut. They said in an emergency, like an evacuation, they would do it. Otherwise the risk is too high.

All the more reason for a common suit, aren't NASA building yet another suit for Orion, the seats also can be a standard design the hot switching of the padding to suit different astronauts, heck they could even design a totally inflatable seat cushions system and you just set it by linking an astronauts profile (you'd need to use an inert gas and allow for inflation / deflation as loading on it would change so the system would need robust components for safety) but I'm sure we are at that level of technology for either method, interchangeable pads being the easiest and cheapest methods.
