Imagine being an astronaut, saying goodbye to your family for an eight-day mission to the International Space Station, only to find yourself stuck there for two months—and counting—thanks to the DEI-driven blunders at Boeing. That’s the grim reality for two astronauts, and experts predict they might be stranded until sometime in 2025. This would be a massive PR disaster if it were getting the coverage it deserves. Instead of holding Boeing accountable for yet another screw-up—likely due to their twisted obsession with DEI initiatives over common sense, excellence, and safety—the story is barely making waves. Boeing’s PR team is likely doing its best to keep their name untarnished. But good luck with that. After all, their track record is in shambles, so this might be the final nail in the coffin for securing future contracts with NASA and the US government.

Wall Street Silver:

Boeing Starliner could be junk and stuck at the Space Station permanently.

NASA has lost confidence in the safety of the Starliner due to leaks and won’t allow astronauts to return on it.

But Boeing installed software on Starliner that does not provide for automated undocking. They need a human inside of the Starliner to undock. But the problem is, there would be no way to get the astronaut back on the Space Station, the space suits are too bulky to fit thru the port.

Boeing wants to upload new software while Starliner is in space, but NASA is worried it will fail and then brick Starliner forever, thus blocking one of only two ports where Dragon and others arrive and leave from.

The two astronauts were only supposed to be on the space station for 8 days for this Starliner test flight and have now been there for 2 months. The most likely plan is for their return in February 2025 aboard a Dragon Crew capsule.

We covered this story when it first broke, diving deep into the decay and woke rot within Boeing that has led to such incredible failure and the crash of a once highly respected company.

Revolver:

Boeing’s ill-fated Starliner program has been in the works since 2010, making the project nearly 15 years old. The idea of the Starliner was to develop a spacecraft and space capsule capable of taking astronauts and space tourists alike to the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit. The first Orbital Test Flight did not take place until 2019, almost 10 years later, and it was a spectacular failure as a “software error” forced the test launch to abort prematurely. Numerous failures, billions of dollars, and years later, the Starliner managed to dock successfully in an unmanned mission to the International Space Station in May 2022. After multiple delays, Starliner’s third manned flight to the space station took off on June 5th of this year and was scheduled to return on June 14th, barely more than a week later. As of the time of this writing, it is August 6th, and the Starliner has still not returned, leaving two astronauts effectively stranded on the International Space Station on account of thruster problems, helium leakages, and a whole host of other difficulties. How embarrassing!

As mentioned above, there is a decent chance that Boeing will have to have their competitor, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, rescue the stranded astronauts with SpaceX’s Crew Dragon. NASA’s Associate Administrator William Gerstenmeier gushed about how excellent Boeing’s Starliner proposal was, enthusiastically approving Starliner’s $4.2 billion contract compared to SpaceX’s $2.6 billion contract. Ironically, Gerstenmeier currently works at SpaceX as Vice President of Build and Reliability. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon has had multiple successful crewed missions (including return trips) spanning all the way back to May of 2020.

It is worth taking a step back and noting how pathetic this situation is. On Boeing’s side, we have a decade-long multibillion-dollar failure to even accomplish a successful crewed round trip to the International Space Station in low-earth orbit. Think about that in relation to the fact that over half a century ago, NASA accomplished multiple manned missions to the moon using slide-rule technology.

There is perhaps no better symbol for the decline of America than the failure of our once great space program, which is why we at Revolver have followed these failures quite closely.

Colossal Boeing Starliner Failure Leaves Astronauts Stranded on Space Station: SpaceX to the Rescue?

Now, you have to wonder how these two astronauts are managing, and whether they have enough supplies to sustain them.

Sky News:

It’s the plot of plenty of sci-fi films: two astronauts are stranded in space and don’t yet know how they’re getting back.

Sunita “Suni” Williams and Commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) in June as the first crew to test Boeing’s new Starliner, which suffered helium leaks and thruster failures before it docked – raising questions over how safe it is for the return flight.

Boeing has insisted the astronauts are not stuck and said “there’s no increased risk” in bringing them back in the Starliner, but NASA is contemplating getting them back on a SpaceX flight instead.

They should have only been in space for eight days, but they’ve now been there for more than two months and may have to stay until February.

An eight-day trip has turned into an eight-month nightmare, and the dipwads running Boeing Starliner are trying to claim that everything is just dandy. That should tell you everything you need to know about disgraced Boeing.

But let’s be clear: it’s not just Boeing feeling the heat. NASA, which has also stumbled from one spectacular flop to another, is reeling as well. NASA not only stranded two astronauts by relying on the DEI-driven Boeing Starliner, but now their Cygnus resupply spacecraft—carrying four tons of “critical spares, new hardware, and crew supplies”—has failed twice to dock with the International Space Station.

Remember when NASA and Boeing were symbols of American excellence? Obviously, those days are long gone. We’ve actually covered the downfalls of both extensively.

Revolver:

If the disastrous war in Afghanistan were a telescope, it would be the James Webb telescope.

When Americans squander decades of time and billions of dollars only to get nothing in return, they can rest assured a defense contractor is lurking somewhere in the storyline.

Naturally, Northrop Grummon is the JWST’s prime contractor.

It’s the same story all over again at NASA. To this day, the most powerful rocket in US history remains the F-1 rocket engine. This was the engine used to propel the Apollo moon missions. But today, American rocket engineers are incapable of reproducing the F-1. They remarkably lack the skills and know-how to match earlier achievements from generations ago.

In other words, antiquated technology is as elusive to us today as future technology. America’s reached its high water mark for a task as rote and mechanical as rocket power over 50 years ago.

It’s not for lack of throwing money at the problem. The Space Launch System (“SLS”) was supposed to be NASA’s solution to rocket impotence problem. NASA began development on SLS 10 years ago, and despite costs to taxpayers ballooning up to $20 billion and counting, it still has never even launched.

NASA’s SLS has done nothing but miss deadlines, fail tests, and burn through budgets for a decade. It’s a beached whale, just like the JWST.

And like with the JWST, military contractors have cleaned out the US Treasury’s piggy bank as they failed their way forward. For the SLS, the prime contractor is Boeing.

This piece offers a gripping look at how disgraced and woke NASA and Boeing have basically sabotaged each other. It’s a toxic DEI relationship doomed to disaster. You can read the full article by clicking here:
