Boeing: It’s very important to remember they are absolutely not stranded, they could walk home whenever they want they’re just having too much fun on the leaky ISS and don’t want to.
News from yesterday media isn’t talking about is NASA confirmed Starliner is likely fine to fly home. They did 3 hot fire simulations of a return mission. All thrusters passed. Even worked better than during approach. Meaning NASA’s theory about what Boeing fucked up seems to have been corrected.
But the media wants clicks. Jumped straight to talking about worst case scenario of our around 5 possible options covered yesterday.
