How worried should we be about the astronauts marooned on the International Space Station because their Boeing spacecraft is glitching? As one of our editors said today: I'm not *not* worried ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ”ญ www.scientificamerican.com/article/boei...

I'm guessing the gig worker who was hired by the subcontractor who was subcontracted by Boeing's subcontractor is going to be out of a job.

I've been so worried about this mission. Thank you for posting this article. I'm feeling much better knowing that they could be brought home via SpaceX Dragon if needed.

Thanks for posting. So much of the press gets space terribly wrong. "They're stranded! They'll have to be rescued!" "Boeing and NASA knew it was a deathtrap!"

As long as they can send up a rescue module they are fine. However, this is bad marks for Boeing.

This is embarrassing for the people that put the first human being on the moon, and returned them safely.

Does anyone know if the Starliner can be sent on a mission home without astronauts on board? A drone if u will?

IDK how eager I would be to jump aboard that Boeing craft for a hotter than lava re-entry through the atmosphere.
