Most of the comments blame Boeing's DEI white employee replacement
policies for the failures of the Starliner.

n a major blow to Boeing’s space ambitions, NASA has decided to bring
home two astronauts from the International Space Station (ISS) using a
SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, abandoning the original plan to use
Boeing’s troubled Starliner capsule due to ongoing technical issues.

Ars Technica reports that a decade after NASA awarded Boeing a $4.2
billion contract to develop the Starliner spacecraft for crew
transportation to the ISS, the program finds itself at a critical
juncture. The decision to forgo using Starliner for the return journey
of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams marks a major setback for Boeing’s space aspirations and raises questions about the future of the Starliner program.

The Starliner capsule, which launched on June 5 with Wilmore and
Williams aboard, successfully docked with the ISS on June 6. However,
the mission encountered significant technical issues, including five of
the craft’s 28 reaction control system thrusters overheating and failing
as the spacecraft approached the ISS. Additionally, helium leaks in the propulsion system, known before launch, multiplied once Starliner
reached orbit.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson emphasized the agency’s commitment to
safety, stating, “Spaceflight is risky, even at its safest, and even at
its most routine. And a test flight by nature is neither safe nor
routine.” This cautious approach reflects lessons learned from past tragedies, including the losses of Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia.

The decision to use SpaceX’s Crew Dragon for the astronauts’ return
extends their stay on the ISS from the originally planned eight days to approximately eight months. They are now scheduled to return to Earth
with SpaceX’s Dragon Crew-9 mission in February 2025.

Jim Free, NASA’s associate administrator, explained the decision: “I
think we’re looking at the data, and we view the data and the
uncertainty that’s there differently than Boeing does. It’s not a matter
of trust. It’s our technical expertise and our experience that we have
to balance.”
