2024-09-07 Stranded Astronauts Mystery Deepens

The Other Side of Midnight

Show Page: Alternate Listening: NASA's "infamous" Starliner came home (to New Mexico!) very early this morning ... leaving its two NASA astronauts -- who took her into orbit three long months ago -- now truly "stranded in space" aboard the international space station .... And once again, Boeing -- the prime spacecraft contractor, who designed and assembled "Starliner" over the last ten years -- did NOT attend the NASA post-landing press conference, despite being pre-advertized (for the second time ...) as "participating." "Trouble in Mudville?" So, why, with Starliner finally home, are the Starliner's crew -- trained for years to carry out the first "crewed flight mission" of this spacecraft -- still stranded on the space station ... when their "ride" has truly returned safely to Earth?! Why, indeed .... THAT is the subject of tonight's deepening mystery show: is NASA's entire months-long "stranded astronaut soap opera" really just-- A COVER STORY?! To KEEP these two ex-Navy astronauts -- Butch Wilmer and Sunita Williams -- IN low Earth orbit ... until February, 2025? But ... WHY!? What would you say if we can prove that it -- somehow -- all involves "the brightest star in the sky," Sirius ... and "possible new visitors?" Join us .... Richard C. Hoagland
