NASA has decided it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule. They’ll have to wait until February for a ride home with SpaceX.
NASA update a few weeks back said all 27 thrusters passed multiple hot fire simulations of the return mission. That overall things looked fine. And they still felt safety factor of riding home on Dragon was better.
Kinda neat that there are multiple options now. NASA mission leaders felt the same a while back. Even if Starliner seems fine to come home why take even that slight bit of risk.
Honestly… who would dare to risk reentry in that piece of shit.

Keyboard warriors of the internet.
I saw comments mentioning how it was a minor annoyance and they’d be back home in the same craft same week or something close.
Kids, this is why you take anything from the internet with healthy dose of skepticism.
