  1. 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 )

    My favorite part about all this is the race from multiple people to post this on the sub first.

  3. Thank God for NASA. Boeing would have their crew burn up before admitting that the starliner isn’t safe

  4. _MissionControlled_ on

    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.

  5. 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.
