Actually, that’s not just Boeing but corporate cost cutting and profit maximizing.
Astronauts are probably thrilled. The thing you trained for years and went on a huge waiting list for and suddenly your time in space goes up from 45 days to beyond the rest of the year. It’s like getting a huge bonus.
So when will there be enough proof of Boeings continued incompetence to sink the company?
I haven’t followed this.. Are they in one of those tiny little capsules? That would be shit.
Dafuq, can’t they use spacex dragon or in worst case soyuz to get them back
They’re in SPACE! I bet they don’t give two shits. If that was me, I would be floating pretty up there in the zero g, living my best life.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, that was for 8 days. Every delay would have me smiling from ear to ear.
Lil everyone downplaying this back a while go was funny to see .
My Internet Explorer ass brain stuck in 2021 thought the astronauts were going to spend few years in space.
So what’s per diem and family sep look like when you’re stuck in outer space?
Why isn’t this on “regular” TV news outlets?
How would they have enough food/water?
Edit: oh. It’s docked to the ISS. If you read the article too fast it’s easy to miss. I thought they were up there stuck in the capsule. LOL.
Sensationalist headline. They’ve publicly informed SpaceX to get a Dragon ready. NASA is waiting on Boeing to be able to detach the pod safely before they introduce any more changes to the equation.
“A 3 hour tour, *a 3 hour tour*”
How much OT are those astronauts racking up there?
I hope they are accumulating Frequent Flier Miles.
I saw a documentary about this once. Which one will save us from the monkeys when they get back?
