Nasa has been using Boeing since the creation of NASA in 1962. They are a private company like spaceX and have been building NASA spacecrafts since the time of Apollo. They are responsible for the creation or Orion and the launch of it in 2014 and 2022. The Starliner mission is designed to be similar to Apollo and Orion and launch into low earth orbit for missions to the Space Stations.

Boeing first launched Starliner in 2019, this was an unammed test mission and the craft failed to achieve orbit. Like the struggles with Apollo and the previous missions into low earth orbit, they have always struggled to maintain orbit. This test struggled and failed to get into orbit however it was able to be returned. This has been mostly deindexed from the internet due to current events with the Starliner.

So years later after Dragon and Orion/Artemis launches happened and NASA is able to finally visit space without Russia. A first since 2011. Although they still cannot put up their own station and are going bankrupt paying Russia to put parts on their station. Which NASA is vocal about letting the ISS go because of cost once Russia leaves it. And how they need Axiom space to invent the propulsion device they used on Salyut7 for ten years, the MIR for ten years and the ISS for over 20. But I digress... The first launch of the Starliner crewed mission had problems from the start. There were leaks and they knew it, but risked the lives of them anyway. Safety is not their north star.

The craft was damaged in flight by solar radiation. Literally the same thing that crippled Skylab and why Boeing cannot put up their own station is what crippled the Starliner. So everyone starts saying they are stranded...

NASA stayed firm that they were not stuck for months... Then they announced they were stuck and would not be taking it back. However they refused to say what they would be taking back. Finally they released this press conference with the top officials of NASA stating they will be bringing back the crew on the next crewed mission cycle craft. They will send the Starliner back automated. Which it is not designed for, so they mean crash it best they can. Like the first launch in 2019.

THAT WAS BRUTAL! The press is tired of the failures, the lies and the money wasted. They clearly are not even educated on the reality that Boeing has been with NASA since the APOLLO era and that is why NASA will not let them go. But man Bill Nelson got heated and flew off like an old man! And contracts, that is why we will pay for failures... However they only said they are coming back on the next crewed mission to the ISS, so what is the craft and when is this next crewed mission? We NASA announced that a day prior to this mission update. The funny thing is they did it in a weird way. They said very quietly that Russia was sending their astronaut up on a Soyuz craft on a back channel, while at the same time said on their main channel that they were sending their astronaut up.

Russia has always been helping behind the scenes. They have already sent several resupply missions.

So what will happen next?
