  • The usual plan now is just to hop in whatever you came in and evac to earth. Right now the plan for the Boeing dou would be to ride back in the currently docked dragon. I think they’d have to ride down on the cargo pallet though so it wouldn’t exactly be a comfortable ride. They’ll have their own dragon seats once crew 9 launches later this month.

    Basically they don’t have enough docking port to keep two crafts for every flight docked to the ISS at all times so they just plan on if there needs to be an evac that the ones the rode up on being fine.








  • Essentially the chance of something wrong happening on there return is high than like 1/270 or something, Scott Manley said 1/270 in a video so that’s where I’m getting that number, so they’re keeping them up there until they can either bring that chance down or get them another way home. If shit were to hit the fan in their orbit and they had to come home right now they could hop in Starliner and return but the risk for non emergencies is higher than NASA wants to accept right now.
