NASA officials said there was “too much uncertainty” about the Boeing Starliner to return astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to Earth, stretching their eight-day mission into eight months.

NASA Boeing DEI space crew community of New diverse hires looking forward to seeing rescue Space X Dragon built by mostly white men since NASA & Boeing DEI replacements can't fly safely or build to precision.
Looks like sky is the limit for Boeing😂
Equity before safety
why is NASA so involved in these supposedly private space flight companies?
The starliner stuck on iss.
Boeing replaced senior engineers with cheap Indian mid management, cheap Indian software and unreliable Indian helium valves. So the outcome is predictable.
Are they getting paid overtime?
You would think the space division of Boeing would have a better more strict quality control process than its airplane. But I guess they’re both just skipping out.
Wonder which employee(s) will die from a mysterious death. Boeing employees seem to have this happen.
Boeing exercising an abundance of caution, stressing a safety first ethos, amidst fears the door might fly off on the return flight home.
Too many dei hires at Boeing?
I wouldn't want to be a pilot at the moment, worrying if the plane is going to randomly fall apart because Boeing built it.
Greetings from Mission, Texas! We would appreciate a shout-out to the middle school students of Ms. Lopez and Ms. Guerra at Sharyland AEC. Go sidewinders! Your updates about the current events happening around the world are greatly appreciated and we look forward to watching them every morning. Thank you! 😀
The two American astronauts are not “stranded” they are ABANDONED and “de facto” jailed up in space by NASA for six month or more. If they are lucky they will be plucked down to earth next year in February, maybe. But if some accident happens to the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION then all onboard are out of luck. Puff!
Wait, I t need not be like that!
All POTUS Biden need to do is to use his White House phone and call President Putin and ask for help. Russia is able to launch a ship and safely return the two abandoned American astronauts back to earth in a matter of days. It would be a swift rescue and a beautiful peace mission. “Just do it…”
Space X hires based on quality and merit, its focus on good products, not agendas.
Boeing lost its capacity to make reliable products as their focus has shifted from technology to imolement narratives.
Good time to sell those Boeing stocks and buy SpaceX
Contract
4.5 billion – boeing
2 billion – space x
I already told Nasa not to use spacecraft ordered from Temu.
Ridiculous but im happy to keep them safe instead of riding back in starliner.
So all the talk about the starliner will bring the astronauts back after running a few tests was just bS.
Last week my Ryanair flight (Boeing) was delayed as well 2 hours . It's very annoying.
Let’s not forget what happens to Boeing whistleblowers either, that corporation is evil
They're expecting kitten's.
I might have baked trout for dinner, tomorrow night.
Hi NASA. How’s your DEI program going?
tells you how unreliable Boeing is
WILL THEY EVER GET HOME ?? NASA CANT HELP !!
Will they go crazy in the space station for such unexpectedly long time?
If it’s Boeing, it ain’t working.
🙏
PUTS!
If its Boeing they ain't going 😂
But they risked sending them to space on one.
