What NASA just Did with Dragon humiliated Boeing Starliner Engineer…REPLAY#5
Attention!
The final decision for the Starliner CFT-1 mission has been reached, marking a pivotal moment for Boeing and a significant shift in favor of SpaceX and Dragon. What does this mean for Elon Musk, and what are the implications for both spacecraft moving forward?
NASA convened on the afternoon of August 24 to make this crucial decision. Earlier, I shared an unofficial update suggesting that the Starliner astronauts might return on Dragon. This has now been confirmed—everything has unfolded as anticipated.
Here, have a listen:
“NASA has decided that Butch and Suni will return with Crew-9 next February. And that Starliner will return uncrewed and the specifics in the schedule will be discussed momentarily”.

Regarding the timeline, NASA has confirmed that Starliner is set to undock in early September, with Crew-9 still on schedule for launch on September 24. This strategic alignment underscores NASA's commitment to ensuring a safe and successful transition for the astronauts.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson recently made a significant statement, underscoring the importance of this decision, which is arguably one of the most consequential in recent years for the agency. He emphasized that this was not just the right decision, but a necessary one to maintain the safety and integrity of NASA's human spaceflight program. Nelson also acknowledged Boeing's extensive efforts in collaboration with NASA to gather the necessary data and arrive at this conclusion. In his remarks, Nelson revealed that he had spoken with Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, who assured him that Boeing remains committed to improving Starliner and continuing their work even after the spacecraft's safe return.

In addition to Nelson's remarks, NASA released a comprehensive update that delves into the rationale behind this critical decision. The decision to conduct an uncrewed return of Starliner allows NASA and Boeing to gather additional data during its journey home, all while minimizing unnecessary risks to the astronauts. The update also addressed the series of technical issues that have plagued Starliner, concluding that the vehicle's uncertainties and the lack of expert concurrence failed to meet NASA's stringent safety and performance requirements for human spaceflight. This ultimately led NASA leadership to reassign the astronauts to the Crew-9 mission, a decision grounded in the agency's unwavering commitment to safety.
