[News] Boeing Starliner

[Eeyore]

Well posted.

In a statement sent to Jeff Foust at Space News, NASA said the sound has stopped, and gave an explanation. “The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner,” it said. “The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback.” The feedback has no technical impact on the crew or the craft’s operations, it added.

There was always going to be a DULL explanation. My only thought was the sanity of the conspiracy theorists.

An initial planned stay of a week or so will be an out eight months as things stand

So they have eight months' worth of food stored up there, just in case..

Resupply missions are more frequent than manned missions.

Hope they got the extra premium holiday insurance, and not just the standard 90 day maximum stay.

Delayed flight compensation normally kicks in after 3 or 4 hours (over 3500km distance). They should be fine so long as they keep any receipts for expenses.

The thought of the current Boeing company designing and sending a craft into space is worrying at best

Reminds me of the famous NASA joke that was doing the rounds a few years ago...

"Nasa decided they'd finally send a man up in a capsule after sending only monkeys in the earlier missions. They fire the man and the monkey into space. The intercom crackles: 'Monkey, fire the retros.' A little later: 'Monkey, check the solid fuel supply.' Later still: 'Monkey, check the life support systems for the man.' The astronaut takes umbrage and radios Nasa: 'When do I get to do something?' Nasa replies: 'In 15 minutes – feed the monkey.'"
