What is Boe-ing on with Starliner?! No…it’s NOT Stranded...But it’s not leaving the ISS anytime soon
Manage episode 427670552 series 3021637
There was A LOT of space news happening the last 2 weeks while we were adventuring in Scotland! (more on that soon) Our first episode back is dedicated to the Boeing Starliner news and reports of the astronauts being “stranded” on the ISS. We break down why that click-bait headline isn’t true but also how NASA is dealing a double standard with Boeing's test flight status.
We review the latest from what’s been shared by NASA/Boeing leadership, the tests underway, and what to expect for a timeline for when Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore could return home on Starliner.
We also discuss the possibility of another spacecraft bringing the Astronauts home, as well as the “worst-case” scenario from all of this.
But in the meantime - we want to know what YOU think! Email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com, or DM us on social media!
