Boeing ‘strands’ Astronauts two months and counting, NASA says if necessary SpaceX could rescue the Astronauts.

There are multiple articles on this topic over Boeing critical engineering incompetence and staggering level of excuses, but the bottom line is the mission that was supposed to be 10 days is now two months. SpaceX is capable of easily getting the stranded Astronauts home thankfully if necessary.

One starts to wonder at what point will government be forced to stop giving Boeing multiple billion dollar projects that they under deliver on. For article context Starliner = boeing Crew Dragon = SpaceX

“Crew Dragon and Starliner were developed under the same NASA Commercial Crew program. But while SpaceX has successfully launched 12 crewed missions since 2020, including eight crew rotational journeys to the ISS, Boeing only launched its first crewed test flight last month.

And if Starliner were to be deemed unfit for its return journey, NASA would presumably have to come up with a plan B: launching another Crew Dragon spacecraft”
