Boeing Starliner Disaster! NASA Is Giving Up... and Realized SpaceX Better...
NASA indefinitely delayed the return flight of two astronauts on Starliner but continues to assert that this is not a 'stranded' situation.
So, is that the truth?
Indeed, Boeing Starliner Is Getting Worse Than You Think!
Let's find out on today's episode of Alpha Tech:
On June 5, the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft completed its first stage by successfully sending two astronauts to the ISS. However, the return process did not go as smoothly.
In a statement on June 18, NASA said that the event of bringing astronauts back to Earth would occur after the second of the two planned spacewalks at the space station, which was scheduled for July 2.

That spacewalk has since been postponed to late July after a water leak from a suit umbilical line in the airlock just as a June 24 spacewalk was beginning, that spacewalk was scrubbed.
This has led to the Starliner's test flight schedule being extended by at least a month and a half, and possibly longer.
On the afternoon of June 28, at a press conference, NASA explained that the additional delay is to conduct ground tests on the Starliner's RCS thrusters to try to replicate the conditions that caused the thrusters to malfunction during the approach to the station. These tests, expected to start this week, will last at least a few weeks.

Steve Stich, NASA commercial crew program manager, noted that these ground tests would also allow for a detailed examination of the thrusters to determine the possible causes of the issue, something that cannot be done with the thrusters in space on the Starliner. These thrusters are located in the spacecraft's service module, which is discarded and burns up in the atmosphere, making post-flight study impossible.
“This will be the real opportunity to examine the thruster just like we had in space on the ground, with detailed inspections,” he said.
Doing those tests now, rather than after Starliner returns, gives spacecraft controllers the option to do additional thruster tests on Starliner before undocking and to get as much data out of the spacecraft before it leaves home.

    I have followed the issues with Starliner for a long time now. In my opinion, my gut feel, is that Starliner is a "dead duck" and I feel that Mr Stitch and the rest of NASA as well as Boeing are just "kicking the can down the road". Even forgetting the gross budget overrun, there have been excuses after excuses as to why Starliner cannot return to Earth. It is just politics now.

    I am reluctant to say this but, it appears that Starliner has severe issues, Boeing has seriously inadequate Quality Control procedures and NASA appears to be desperate to save face for Boeing. Since Boeing agreed to the "Fixed Price" Commercial Program, Boeing has been bleeding its profits away. Apparently, Boeing's management is accustomed to squeezing NASA and the American taxpayers for their outdated and poor Engineering, Management and Quality Control practices. What's more, NASA is desperately trying to hold on to the only alternative it has to SpaceX. Frankly, i believe that if SpaceX exhibited this many problems (irregularities) in a single mission, NASA would either remove or at best, reevaluate SpaceX's "Certification." That brings me to my point. Even if (when), Starliner brings our highly decorated heroes home safely, I believe that NASA and Boeing should get together in a DETAILED talk about the engineering of, and quality control involved in that "capsule." It's bad enough that the capsule is an antique, when compared to their competitors, but their constant delays and acquisition of taxpayer monies is unsustainable and should be properly audited for possible mismanagement. Boeing received more than twice the amount of money than SpaceX and delivered an outdated, non-reusable capsule in "more than twice the amount of time" as SpaceX. I, as a taxpayer would like to believe my money is NOT BEING MISMANAGED. I do know that if I performed my job as poorly as Boeing did for this project, I would be fired!! Anyway this is my view, opinion on this issue, such as it is.

    Look this is Boeing issue and Boeing is working on it. It looks at this point both Boeing and NASA have this, and the undocking of the crewed Starliner and safe return to earth meet all the safety concerns and requirements. The whole process is within , Starliner,Crew, and the ISS safety envelope. Boeing is just gathering more data and NASA is Good with that. If you think about it Both Boeing and NASA have been around along time and understand the complexity of doing Space. Both entities must be transparent About issues and solutions because to do otherwise is totally unacceptable when it comes to human life and our taxpayer dollars.
