Ehgadsman on August 24, 2024 5:30 pm First of all, wow, and good, and ugh. Also, the ‘how will they return?’ poll is closed. New poll, ‘will Boeing file a lawsuit against NASA?’ edit: alternate poll ‘how many lawsuits will come of this decision?’ (thanks u/RadioFreeAmerika )

Hurray0987 on August 24, 2024 6:06 pm Thank God for NASA. Boeing would have their crew burn up before admitting that the starliner isn’t safe
_MissionControlled_ on August 24, 2024 6:07 pm Completely expected. SpaceX should lobby NASA for a contract to always have a Dragon ready to go in short notice. It can go up unmanned as well.
Reasonable_Move9518 on August 24, 2024 6:12 pm So long, Starliner! Don’t let the door plug hit you on the way down.
trekxtrider on August 24, 2024 6:27 pm Once they get them back safely they should deploy the damaged pod back to earth unmanned to see if it would have made it, for science.
Andrige3 on August 24, 2024 6:42 pm Gotta be so embarrassing for Boeing! How did the management allow this to happen?
