Looking back....

like all the other NASA disasters, there were warning signs all over. arrogance and overconfidence.

Boeing's latest potential scandal is out of this world - literally.

Its Starliner spacecraft - which carried two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) last week - is unable to undock after several faults were found on the ship.

Teams have discovered five different leaks in the craft's propulsion system which would navigate the craft through space as it returns to Earth.

The astronauts were set to return on June 14, but that has been delayed until June 22 while Boeing and NASA scramble to fix issues, leaving the astronauts stranded until then.

Now, experts have said that NASA could be forced to launch a rescue mission that would be a highly embarrassing blow for the embattled Boeing which is dealing with spate of issues plaguing its commercial jets.

Quite amazing how SpaceX has been able so far to do this cheaper, quicker and safer. I do fear the day though where SpaceX has an issue. Playing with rockets is a very risky business.

Manned Spaceflight is always risky. Whether it's us, or the Chinese, or the Ruskies, or whomever tries it.

The idea of a successful manned mission to Mars or beyond is pure fantasy to me.

..how bout we tell Elon to focus on Earth issues. Plenty to do down here.

Wasting his money on pipe dreams. We couldn't even build a working farm on the moon.

Yet, he wants to space travel...

He is....he's building a restaurant and several shops next to the Rio grande. He's also building a building that can fit 12 football fields, not sure what he's gonna do with it and he's donated a lot of money to the local community. He goes to local festivals, no body guards....just trying to be part of the community. His house down here is a trailer home.

So was going to the moon at one time.

IF I was going to make a permanent moon base, I would drill five miles down and use a small nuke to make a large cavern that would be sealed due to the extreme heat; the residual radiation would quickly fade away. Then you would have a mile wide place to build a base. Nuclear reactors, breeders, would give you all the power in the world. You could even make two caverns and just use one for the power plant. Lots of room; extremely well shielded from solar radiation; completely safe and stable.

They are always accepting applications. I have a few friends that work there.

..wow, that's great. Glad he's being a member of community and also being philanthropic. I guess he realizes he has so much money, he couldn't spend in five lifetimes. Best to try now.
Long as he doesn't go Michael Jackson on us.

caught this one a couple of days ago, those F1’s were huge for back in the day and today even. Losing one was losing 20% of thrust, makes u realize part of the why for 33 Raptor’s.

yeah, you could lose several and no big deal.

Boeing in BIG trouble

 

[triplets_93]

NASA's spacesuits are aging, and two separate spacesuit-related incidents over the past couple of weeks highlight just how bad the problem has gotten. Here's a rundown of what's going on with NASA's spacesuit (called EMUs), why the situation is so bad, and what is being done about it.
