Another Boeing disaster
“We are letting the data drive our decision."
oh, yeah? and what drove your decision to launch the thing in the first place when there were already several unresolved leaks?
Starliner shouldn’t have launched in the first place, and now they’re stuck.
Because Boeing let everyone know that the roads where icy this time of year, and windows let in a lot of air.
Because every spaceship leaks, just like water ships. These were not deemed to be a big deal.
Unless maybe you’re smarter than entire teams at NASA?
Smarter than the teams that got the Starliner stuck up there because it wasn’t ready to fly?
Maybe
They don’t have to come back on this shuttle, there are other ways to get them home. Assuming it’s being resupplied at the normal level, they should be able to remain aboard the station for a few extra months without any trouble. That would be without any extra resupply as well.
Boeing: “naa fuck that. They’ll be fine coming back down”
Starlinern’t
Break up boeing.
That’s what NASA is afraid of.
Just making doubly-sure the door won’t pop off during the return flight.

I literally said this would be the best plan of action a week ago. They need to hire me.
