Originally set to return in mid-June, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams may be on the station until February, 2025.
During a press conference today, NASA representatives confirmed they have a contingency plan to bring astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams home from the International Space Station (ISS) early next year. If they’re unable to leave sooner aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that brought them there
Tests conducted at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility pointed to deformed Teflon seals being a potential cause of the Starliner’s thrusters failing, but the agency isn’t expected to make a final decision on whether or not Williams and Wilmore will return using Boeing’s spacecraft until mid-August.
Um WE’RE recycling. It’s the recyclers that are not recycling. Consumers are often called on to save the planet when only corporations can do it. They are the ones causing the damage, they should be the ones fixing it. Some things are just too big for citizens to handle, that’s what governments are supposed to be for. And because governments are just corporations in disguise they should handle this problem. You know what happens when I stop eating red meat to save the planet? I get no red meat and the planet dies anyway. Producing red meat should be legislated into becoming more environmentally friendly instead of blaming the consumer for eating food. You can follow this logic with pretty much any industry.
Also, from your post further up, I doubt anyone is actually blaming the guy installing parts on Boeing planes for Boeing’s problems. Slamming Boeing for the crap they do falls fully on the shoulders of the people controlling it, you know, the ones profiting from it.
