H1B Hindus will ensure that US looks like the $hithole they made India.

They failed Intel/Boeing/IBM.. Google/MSFT etc are next.

Elon literally to the rescue.

The problem is safely separating the Starship from the ISS. There are only two docking ports on the ISS and the dead Starliner "bricks" one of them. The ISS can move (slowly, to avoid debris.) I think the move will be to release the docking clamp from the ISS side (is this possible?) and move the ISS away from the Starliner. FAR away. Then you fire up the remaining working thrusters on Starliner and deorbit that junk. Now you can dock another Dragon and get folks home.

They have to be running out of underwear by now. Fo' reals.

In 2014 NASA awarded contracts to two companies to build spacecraft capable of bringing astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station.

SpaceX received $2.6 billion, launched first mission in 2020 and has done 13 crew missions with 49 astronauts so far.

Boeing received $4.2 billion, first mission 2024 and stranded at the space station with leaks. Likely a total loss and the astronauts will be need to be rescued by SpaceX. Even worse, the software on Starliner cannot handle an automated undocking, possibly resulting in Starliner being permanently blocking one of two ports needed for other capsules to arrive.

Boeing, twice the budget and time, and the outsourced code can't handle an undocking.

I remember peeps on PatNet insisting that EULA was fucking toast because of SpaceX.

I also remember laughing at them.
