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.
You’re right, i must have worded it completely wrong, because i think it was the best decision NASA could have made.
I guess it’s good for Boeing that Starliner made the way back home without incidents and had a smooth landing, but i really don’t know,l. If i were NASA, i wouldn’t spend more money on this. In the end only they know if Boeing is capable of finishing this. I think it depends on all those tests Boeing made being analyzed. They, probably, will then present NASA their conclusions and how they plan to proceed from there.
Maybe Starliner’s AI is conscious, doesn’t like humans and starts sabotaging itself when humans are onboard.
