We are part of the day in space, it is a remnant of time: the two astronauts belonging to the International Space Station by the vessel Sterliner Boeing is leasing a flight locally with the concurrent SpaceX announced by NASA.

The difficulty level in the series that is on le Sterliner We made the decision not to use windows Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on Terre. A camouflage for Boeing, déjà embourbé by the déboires à reétition sur ses avions de line.

« NASA has decided that Butch and Suni have reviewed the Crew-9 team, and that Sterliner revised without team,” a statement from NASA patron Bill Nelson held a press conference on the issue of a same-decision committee.

If this decision is justified by a safety precaution, it is worth using the SpaceX and Boeing duo for the astronauts in space, stating that it is “100%” that Boeing has a new cleavage Sterliner with an equipment.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams make their cleavage debut on the board in June Sterlinerand if you are on the ISS, your vaisseau is leftover amarré.

Radical solution

While we haven’t opened the windows on the day’s terrain yet, there are more problems with the propulsion system on NASA’s piping system than a question of reliability.

And consider a radical solution: honest tenants willing to be in the lab for two six-month periods, with a SpaceX regulatory mission in the air.

At the time that Boeing’s machines and NASA’s tests are fully understanding the cause of problems, they are noting the propulsion engines of the vessel. The main concern is that Sterliner It is not possible to achieve the necessary power to leave the track and go downhill to the terrain.

We can send a return with these problems that are “simply risky to the equipment,” by Steve Stich, who is responsible for NASA. Sterliner Quittera donc l’ISS for a return on Terre, sans son équipage, «September debut».

A SpaceX mission, named Crew-9, is scheduled to cleave in September and it is not important that two astronauts are in place. The rest is alight at the ISS just as they return to Earth in February. There are two Boeing rams and two Crew-9 astronauts.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have found jobs for long-term additional services, “completed the agency’s decision and carried out our mission aboard the ISS,” a statement before the press conference by Norm Knight, not in charge of NASA.

Additional analyses

Boeing secured an encore at the debut of “confidence” in the capability of Sterliner “for all safety purposes with the equipment”. Thanks to NASA, extreme caution is required in the event of accidents involving spacecraft Challenger and Colombiaa persistence in the analysis of additional analyses, in short, with a “désaccord technique” from Boeing, a real statement from Steve Stich.

“La trust, ça doit être reciproque”, a tout de même against Bill Nelson.

This decision, unanimous on the part of NASA, gives a little more to Boeing’s image, due to a series of malfunctions on its flights.

In a communiqué, the industry is a ‘concentrator, progressive on the safety of the equipment and the vessel’.

NASA has been tasked with giving Boeing and SpaceX a new vehicle to have a chemist be their astronauts facing the ISS. With two vehicles, you can’t come back without a solution in case of a problem with one or more of the cars.

With Elon Musk’s venture, Boeing has become a major player and you have been playing the role of the American taxi for the past four years.

What is the first time that Sterliner with an equipment, realized with the years of delay due to the deconvenues in the course of development, it is worth doing the test before starting your business regimes.
