NASA also said the astronauts, who arrived to the International Space Station on the Boeing Starliner, may have to be rescued by the SpaceX CrewDragon.
Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore launched from Florida on June 5 on a trip that was supposed to last just eight days. Once in space, the crew found a series of concerning helium leaks and thruster failures that have left NASA and Boeing scrambling to find a solution.

Why the hell are they still being trusted??? Boeing shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an aircraft
-
Can Boeing build ANYTHING right????
-
if its a boeing, i aint going.

Yall had us at Boeing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
-
I’d much rather call Elon for a SpaceX Uber
-
25 billion dollar budget this year. "Went to the moon in the 60's". Time for the biggest audit of all time.
-
Boeing is NOT "too big to fail."
-
They arrived on Earth, but the Earth had already been destroyed in World War III.
-
"8 days" "two weeks to flatten the curve" "safe and effective" "the lone gunman" Things my government has said?
-
Makes no sense. Bring them home by another ship and go back when the star liner is ready to come home or be scrapped…
-
Have no doubt, Elon has already mind screwed this into the most intimate details. He's not a CEO, he's the O. Just let spaceXgo get them and call it another Boeing fail.
-
Think of the overtime they are getting paid💰💵
-
Boeing needs to be thoroughly audited at all levels.
-
I pray they make it home alive. This country really needs to be its Priorities in order.
-
hope they're enjoying their diversity up there
-
No one should be surprised. Calhoun (Boeing CEO) just got a big raise, from $22 million to $33 million. Guess where he was before Boeing? Blackstone, where he "focused on creating and driving added-value initiatives with Blackstone’s portfolio company CEOs". What's a great way to add "value"? Cut costs. Like on all of those pesky and annoying safety requirements.
-
All they have to do is ask Elon for help and he will do it out of pocket just to make a point. But then it will make Boeing and nasa look very bad.
-
Space X to the rescue!!!!!
-
No way I would get on that thing and tell they to call Elon to send his space Uber to come get them.

I knew Boeing's aerospace division wasn't trustworthy when they had massive delays and their test flight to the ISS had navigational issues. Boeing isn't using a tried and true capsule proven to work reliably. An example of a better crew capsule is SpaceX's dragon which has been servicing the ISS since the early-2010s and only after a decade of work did they decide to make a crew-variant of the capsule. They tested the launch escape system twice beforehand with 100% success while Boeing went ahead with putting people in an entirely new capsule after failing their first god damn test.
