50 days after launch to ISS, Boeing Starliner astronauts still have no landing date

Boeing's Starliner will do a "hot fire" test in orbit soon, as NASA and the company continue to probe the cause of thruster failures and a helium leak in space.

Starliner will conduct the test-fire of its 28-thruster reaction control system (RCS) on either Saturday (July 27) or Sunday (July 28) at the International Space Station (ISS), NASA and Boeing announced in a press conference today (July 25). Only 27 of the RCS thrusters will be used, however, as one previously was deemed unusable for the flight home.

are these people going to be sacrificed in space?

Ground Control to Major Taniqua

Ground Control to Major Taniqua

Take the weave off your head and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Taniqua

Commencing countdown, nail polish on

Check fried chicken and may obama be with you

This is Ground Control to Major Taniqua

You look like a great ape

And the niggers want to know who’s shoes you wear


Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare


This is Major Taniqua to Ground Control

I can’t fit my ass through the door

And I'm bloated in a most peculiar way

And my fat ass looks very different today

For here

Am I shitting in a tin can


Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue

What can a poor nigger do

Though I'm past two or three weeks now

I'm eating every pill

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell Kamala I love her very much she hoes

Ground Control to Major Taniqua


Your your hair is straight there's something wrong

Can you hear me, Major Taniqua?

Can you hear me, Major Taniqua?

Can you hear me, Major Taniqua?

Can you...

Here am I floating round my tin can

Far above the Moon

Planet Earth is White

And there's nothing a nigger can do

No need to panic, folks. We can just ask @McNasty. He is some kind of elite scientist.

No. I'm just not into kike shit. If that makes me some kind of elite scientist, so be it.

I don't think it takes an elite scientist to compare these two pictures.

They ain't being sacrificed for shit. They're docked with the ISS, meaning that the soviet soyuz capsule can shuttle them back down to earth.

will russia send a capsule to rescue " their enemy"?

Da comrade. War has not been declared…., yet.. so, just like maritime law it would be ‘uncivilized’ to leave a fellow traveller stranded.

Plus, the Russians rescuing stranded US faggots makes for excellent PR.

Double plus for Russia, they can then cannibalize the failed husk of a spacecraft for parts and tech.

I hope you don't mean the Starliner - that shit is so tainted with DEI that it is completely useless. Some duct tape and aluminum foil would be of more use.

It only takes one nigger to fuck up the work of 100 white men. Pretty sure there is shit worth keeping especially since it’s so difficult to get the crap in orbit.

..one man’s weightless garbage is another man’s floating goldmine

It's already attached. It's the emergency exit pod for the ISS.

interesting what are they waiting for then. the food and water will not replicate itself over there

There's enough transport up there for the number of people onboard. Meaning what people rode up on. And those will have suits and seats compatible with the vehicle.

The Boeing suits, IIRC, aren't compatible with the Soyuz systems.

But you're right that they (probably) won't let them die. At some point they're gonna have to bite the bullet, send the measurements to SpaceX for their suits, and send a Dragon up to get them. But NASA and Boeing are gonna drag that out as long as possible because it would be a massive embarrassment.

Sees the ride home is boeing. Danger, Will Robinson!
