Yeah, it’s boring.
I want a Starliner intern to come up with something.
Btw, Starliner undocked the space station, set course back to earth and must have landed, uncrewed, 2 - 3 hours ago. That was the plan, at least.
Edit: Here it is after undocking the station, showing off it’s glorious thrusters:
Hasn’t made it to re-entry burn yet. That’s scheduled for about 40 minutes from now. Is supposed to land around 10 pm New Mexico time. Or about 2 hours from now.
The touchdown
Seems like both Astronauts would have made a safe return after all.
To be fair, if I’m NASA, who’s had two fatal incidents with known damaged spacecraft, I’m also not sending two astronauts down on a known damaged spacecraft.
