Astronauts waiting to return to Earth aboard Starliner amid thruster issues
The two astronauts who traveled to the International Space Station aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft say they're confident it can return them to Earth. Leaks and thruster failures marred the launch, and further technical issues have kept the crew in space longer than scheduled. CBS News space consultant Bill Harwood joins with a timeline for when they could come back to the ground.

Space X Could have rescued them days after the Boeing Space Craft crapped out. 😂

Probably still can.
Poor lady looks like she hasn't slept very well,, Boeing sucks
LMAO. What a joke of a company Boeing is. Then again, the upshot is that you get extra time in space.
These mfers still stuck lmao. 🤣🤣 Boeing will never live this down
*Another Typical Boeing FuqUp...* 🤦🏽♂️

I'm predicting space tourism launches for rich people just to get that space hair look.
We are all hoping for your safe return. We all love you here on earth. I will save your seats for you at the movie theater.
If you’re ready then send them home. If you can’t trust the vehicle, then stop protecting Boeing.
Imagine their family members during all of this
There's NO WAY they are chill and at peace in their souls. Elon needs to save them.
Bill Harwood - you are the best! Thanks for explaining it all so well.
they'll be fine.

Not something you can take for granted in orbit
Just let crew dragon pick them up paid by Boeing and let the starliner go back to earth without crew to test it.
Im sure Boeings thrusters and doors will fall off on the way back

There is a video of a safety window that pops off the Boeing Starliner capsule on its way to the launch pad.
They need to pack hair-scrunchies.
No offence to the lady but you know the effects of space travel, why wouldn’t you tie or cut your hair before going up?!
The kind of simulations they’re doing now is what made NASA what it is today but Boeing should have handled this a long time ago. And that hurts me to say considering my dislike for Musk.
Boeing should be nationalized.
If so AMAZING this craft is WHY are you a MONTH late in coming back to EARTH!!
Boeing 💀
I wish them a safe return.
i HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE US GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING OFFICE - GAO - master bosses of all Gov contracts. BOEING should be disbanded from ALL NASA and FAA realms forever. No more flights of any kind for 5 years stand-down
The US can't return it's astronauts, while China lands on the moon and returns soil samples from the Moon's south pole region.

China uses space tech that works- they took a version of the Russian Soyuz and improved the design. The American government designs its program around enriching government contractors.
Anybody with half a brain would have known that vehicle was on fit for purpose. I blame Nasa for risking the lives of it's astronauts knowing damn well that ship was a mess. The Starlinier should have done several uncrewed flights to iron out all these problems before putting lives onboard...
Fly Cheap, fly Safe, fly Fast, fly Soyuz!
The Space program is awesome and powerful.
Parachutes?
There's no f-ing way I would dare to get into that deathtrap to come home. Call Elon to send a Crew Dragon NOW!!!
I am sure that was a Boeing Starliner MAX! 😂😂😂
A Three Hour Tour
If they take that Boeing capsule back, they gonna die.
Boeing engineers have no confidence on themselves anymore. If the thrusters are fine, why not just go ahead already?!
I kept telling them not to go on that ... Trap
It's a rocket thruster, not a jet.
Can someone explain to me why Spacex can’t pick them up?

SpaceX is a private company, not a government agency like NASA; there will be many legal hoops to jump through. If you want an immediate solution, NASA will have to rescue them.

According to NASA, the Starliner can bring them home. They just want to do as much testing as possible before that happens, since the soon-to-be-detached service module (source of the problem) will burn up in the atmosphere.
3:12 that sounded so sarcastic 😂
She hasn’t brushed her hair for weeks from the stress
poor astronauts
Just book a return trip on the Dragon from SpaceX, it's safe :D
Boeing 😭😭
I’m sorry, regardless of the life or death issue of if the Starliner is a POS and whether the astronauts will live through the return to earth, but really, pull your hair back into a ponytail. WHY is she going around looking like she is a wild woman?
They are so confident that the Boeing spacecraft won’t fall apart, that they have decided to stay in space indefinitely.
Sounds like tinfoil
Elon should do this...he can help
Suggest you watch Marooned with Gene Hackman. KZread Algorithm recommended it when they reported issues with the starliner when it docked with the ISS a month ago. I trust that AI more than a Boeing Executive.
I am embarrassed as a human that she was allowed to be an astronaut. fix your hair OMG!
Medusa is onboard ❤

Is the spacecraft going to make a boeing sound when it hits the ground Really hard cuz the thrusters didn't work?

Just one more thing about this being perfectly normal because it is. Dragon frequently spendss a month to 2 months longer than it's supposed to on the space station because of helium leaks and thruster malfirings that they need to spend months figuring out. everyday occurrence.wink wink

Even if they became a permanent satellite, it will be fun 30 years from now to watch them streak across the sky at night. "Look grandkids, here comes frozen Butch and Suni again."

maybe we should stop going to space at this point. like honestly why is it necessary?
They are stranded in space as NASA cannot get them back
