America's Astronauts Being Held Hostage By America At The Space Station- Wilmore And Sunita... Is Biden Aware?

They are not STRANDED…they are just stuck on the ISS with no way to get off…but they are not STRANDED…

If you are on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific and your boat is broken down and no one can get to you…you are NOT STRANDED…keep that in mind.

Hey! Not according to Kamala Harris!

UPDATE: Seriously, now NASA says that the two astronauts sent up to the ISS for a mere 8 day mission in June aboard a Boeing Starliner, which NASA assures us they can be brought back on at any time, may now be up there stranded until 2025! And they may have to be brought back on one of SpaceX's Dragon ships on another mission where they will leave room to bring them back on, then pilot the empty Boeing Starliner back to Earth by computer control alone because apparently, the ship has defective thruster packs which went south taking the astronauts there and cannot be trusted to bring them back to Earth.

Another feather in Boeing's cap.

They went to space for eight days - and could be stuck until 2025

Two American astronauts face the sudden prospect of spending Christmas and New Year in space.

So it looks like the hapless astronauts up in the space station are not coming home until Feb 2025 now, so much for "not stranded".

The funny part is that they are depending on Elon Musk to save the day.....So much for DEI Boeing.

This isn't something to celebrate or make light of. Although at this time of year everything is political.

Boeing just can't catch a break. LOL. I wonder if the door will fall off of this one too. I guess they showed how to turn 8 days into eight months.

When people are chosen to do a job on identity instead of qualifications, who would not see this coming. Boeing has been eating the democrat jello for far too long.

Mmmm jello.

Well, I love jello pudding, not regular jello. Remember Jello pudding pops? Those were the best. Bill Cosby was in the commercials lol.

Space used to be exciting, interesting but ever since the late 70s its been getting duller and more routine and tedious. I'm originally from Britain and was immersed in the Apollo program as a kid, it got a lot of coverage on TV. I was 10 on the day the men landed on the moon.

The glory days are gone, nothing but memories now and this film was a stunner, when it came out on BluRay I watched it five times in two weeks, here's the extended trailer (is there anyone here who has NOT yet seen this film?)

Boeing has been going downhill since they merged in the late 90's with MD, and this once proud company is a shell of its former self. This was supposed to be an 8 day mission, and now it might be until Feb. they can be taken home?

Can Boeing sink any lower than this?

I have a neighbor I see often, he was a quality control manager at Boeing here in AZ until he retired early a few years ago. He has told me that the place was very stressful, people signing stuff that they shouldn't have, people failing to mention stuff they should have. He said the place was so stressful, that the problems so alarming and concerning that he just retired to get away. Not just him either, many of his coworkers in QA were very unhappy.

What I remember more than anything about Boeing is when they were called to the carpet by Congress and basically had no explanation for why they did not have a robust safety culture in place. This was more than shocking to me, it was criminal negligence IMO. Their QC is dogshit, based solely on making deadlines. Their upper management is clueless, and that is what changed since their merger.

Before they merged, they were run by engineers who knew how to build airplanes better than anyone else in the world, now they have everyone looking at their ticket and hoping it says Airbus.

Wow, they were only supposed to be up there 8 days! I wonder if their lives are in danger since they weren't conditioned for several months in space.

My God!

Unbelievable! stuck there in the middle of nowhere in space.... can you imagine how they must feel?

Beyond a nightmare horrible!!

Bless them hope they won't lose their minds

They're not stuck nowhere in space, Skye! They are right above you just about 225 miles up over your head right now!

... can you imagine how they must feel?

Imagine spending more than half a year in zero gravity weightless trying to eat, sleep and shit in no gravity.

It's HORRIBLE!

I feel so sorry for them!

They might not even survive this!

 

[toobfreak]

I think they will be OK. But they might not be enjoying it.

They signed a contract agreeing to the risks.

Wonder if they get paid extra for the mission going over by 2,600%?

I think there are other people up there; they are being used to help out doing stuff there.

Worst case scenario is that they will be brought down sometime early next year when the next crew rotation is sent up on the SpaceX Dragon.

This made me watch the video of the Challenger explosion back in 1986. Lessons learned are have escape planned much ahead of time.

They don't give a shit.

It's boeing and despite all of their major screw ups in the past yesr they get VERY little attention in the news.

Come on. 2 seperated boeing whistleblowers ended up "committing suicide" before they could testify with one of them repeatedly saying he didn't want to kill himself.

Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows Boeing is paying off officials to keep everything under wraps as much as possible. Including this because it would be another black eye on the company.

Being a major military contractor with endlessly deep pockets buys a lot of coverups.
