      So delaying return to check out safety issues is the same as stranded on the ISS? Calm down.

    2. Everyone on Reddit thinks they’re smarter than Elon Musk, but his company is the only one that has ever been able to reliably do the job.

      If you think about it a rocket is like a massive super low frequency whistle. Which makes the pilot a whistleblower

    4. Boeing is going to go full defense contractor. Only thing their products have been doing lately is killing people might as well monetize it

    5. I knew it. You knew it. They knew it. Now… Astronauts are ISS stuck in it.

    6. Man boeing is just not having any luck this year with any of their products…

      Don’t tell /r/aviation those guys get pissed when you talk bad about BA

    8. Is this the same news or another one, feels like every couple days boeing fucking up

      There’s got to be a morning after
      If we can hold on through the night
      We have a chance to find the sunshine
      Let’s keep on looking for the light

    10. SpaceX is fast tracking a rescue capsule. NASA publically has been appropriately coy about the situation but they’ve reached out to SpaceX to ask them to prep one. Rumor has it they could be ready to launch an empty capsule by second week of July

    11. They aren’t stranded you regards. They are doing tests on the service module (not the capsule). Why would you read something that wasn’t sensationalized?

      I have a question. If Boeing can’t reach the ISS, how are they going to send the hitman to kill the astronauts in the ISS?, are they going to use a competitor?
