- Are the two NASA astronauts who arrived aboard the ISS on a Boeing Starliner on June 16th stuck in space? Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams are currently working to identify and repair the numerous technical issues that emerged with the capsule during launch. Although this vehicle was designed to eventually serve as a space taxi for astronauts, their mission, which was initially planned for 10 days, will now extend until at least the end of August according to NASA’s latest estimates.

Let's be simple and clear: THE SHIP IS A BOEING, of course they are stuck!
anyway Boeing sent astronauts to space station successfully, they are confident
@alanwu5788: and yet they’re currently stuck. There’s a reason for that)))
Boeing said they have purchased insurance for two astronauts. So, this is not a problem.
One important point you missed about the ISS is that the US prohibited China to participate and the U.S. has banned China from the ISS, so it’s not so international after all!!!
China is out of community of ISS. You knew why.
And the Russians tried multiple times to sabotage it. 😂
Guess who can save them next?
hey geopolitics don’t play in space lol
When the Boeing gets tough, the tough gets Boeing.
Don't fly Boeing 🤷♂️
We all know that 😂
Astronaut: "If it's Boeing, I'm not going"
Sound like they're not going back on the Boeing.
One astronaut is so freaked out that her hair is standing on end. And the other astronaut is praying for his life. What an image to send to all the world to see….. yikes! 🤯
lol--
He's praying that they don't put him back on a Boeing.
You know they are in zero-G, right?
You’re just kidding, right?
We appreciate the gravity of the situation. 😅
@@HowShouldIKnow6543 Maybe Boeing will have better success building a hair salon in space.
She said international but nothing international about the ISS ...
Where's Chin a?😅
They Made Their Own,They Don't Need The West For This😂😂😂
@@Xcelcior6780no, it’s USA doesn’t want China!
Just like the so called Rules Based International Order --- international means American
what is "chin a"? perhaps reason why you don't understand meaning of international, is beacuse you don't understand english?
anything that includes more than 1 country, is international.
it's called international, not global space station.
global would mean all countries, international means more than 1 country.
There another's superpowers country from beginning ready and speak out willing to help that's India new superpower country who have space exploration program
Stayliner
When I heard BOEING I thought dear god they can't be serious.
It is not an ISS but ISSWC
International Space Station Without China
We don't need China.
Which US Senators/Representatives own stock in Boeing, and are they on the committee that chose to give them not only the contract price, but also an extra $1.4 billion to deliver something late, that doesn't work? That is heavier, but doesn't have cargo space? Crew Dragon was ready 4 years ago, so why throw more money into a company that can't even maintain it's airplanes? Lobbyists should be outlawed.
A majority of Senators and House Members are on Boeing's payroll, the same is true of other major corporations and this is the reason why everything is so expensive and cost overruns is the norm
India is willing to help and have a lot of IT professionals price much cheaper than USA even China
@@fabianyaptortong1885 😂😂😂
I've been advocating for the outlawing of lobbying for years. THAT is one of the top 5 worst things for this country. Lobbying effects everything about our daily lives. It's not right!
3:29 totally spacey hairstyle. The Medusa look. 🐉
Yea, I think they try a little too hard on optics. 😮😅
so if the space tech is so difficult to boeing and nasa, who actually built the ISS ? Russians only ?
NASA should be brave enough to ask China for help. China sends its ship to CSS every 6 months. Don’t be shy!
So basically these peoples lives are not as important as the way NASA needs to appear
That is for sure a Boeing Starliner MAX!
How is it that in the 90's we didn't worry about this? What is happening to the quality of our engineers?
Boeing is the problem they have implemented the very same tacticthat gave us the 737 MAX over their whole company.
Instead of testing all systems physically they test all systems one by one in digital simulations.
So you dont get the stress of everything working together.
Frankly i believe that the Starliner needs to be completly re-engineered from the base up.
@danielkarlsson9326 have you been involved in this development program personally? I think you are speculating a lot. But boeing indeed has lost its ways.
*AEROSPACE ENGINEER HERE:*
The answer is: Nobody listens to us.
Its really that simple.
Look at this story as an example. Do they ask an engineer to come on and explain it NO.
We make the cameras, lights, microphones, transmission gear, TV sets and computers you all need to have a job.
We also provide the electricity to power all of it.
Do we get any respect from the media for making their jobs possible? NO
Do we get any respect form anyone that the lights are turned on or you can sit there and read this on a computer designed by engineers, powered by engineers with software written by engineers?
NO - like so many others you just whine that we aren't getting the job done.
I am so sick and tired of all the people who aren't engineers interfering with engineers, interfering with how we do our work, interfering with our careers, and telling us how to do our jobs when they have no idea what our jobs are.
As for education and training.
Forget it, the clowns with economic degrees and MBAs wrecked that like they wrecked everything else they have touched for the last 50 years. Did you ever bother to stop and think that when engineers were NOT interfered with that we went to the Moon. Then once the Reaganomics and Thatcherism economics revolution arrived that it started to slide and slide and slide.
I have been trying to tell people in my home country (Australia) we need to build new power stations. We all know we need them but EVERY PUBLIC DISCUSSION involves academics, economists, celebrities and all sorts of people *EXCEPT ENGINEERS.*
You might want to look at the business model for that answer before asking about the engineers.
The delay was due to no funding from Congress.
Where is the superiority of US space technology now?
"China Stole Them." Isn't that the go to excuse? China even stole stuff America never had!
"China stole U.S. space technology". This is the go to excuse.
China stole it!
US is still leading the space technology, particularly on how to get two astronaut sent to the ISS with spacecraft flawed with leaky features, while also getting them stuck on the ISS for infinite period of time.
5:17 points at the South Pacific: "Point Nemo is in the middle of the Atlantic" 🤦
Anyone without an education could make that mistake.
Sounds like the Starliner is a new space apartment for rent.
So it's Boeing again..? 🧐
Astronauts would rather buy their tickets on AIR CN than fly BOEING again.
Or more practically, wear the space suit, fly to Chinese Tiangong, knock on the door, and ask for a ride back to Earth.
Fly fast, fly cheap, fly safe, fly Soyuz!
USA should ask China to help bring the astronauts back home.
"The Wolf Amendment" has not been repealed
You mean ask China that was not able to make its own spacecraft and asked Russians to make them a copy of Soyuz (Shenzhou) with the technology the belongs to 60 years ago!? ISS and its astronauts are going to be fine, they can bring everybody back with SpaceX Dragon, it has the capacity of 4-7 people and they've 4 operational spacecrafts, that are made with the cutting edge technologies.
No need India willing to help
@@fabianyaptortong1885 ---- ho ho ho, Santa Claus is coming for dinner tonight.
- What happened?
- The door fell off.
5:22 "Point NEMO is in the middle of the ATLANTIC"?
With the direction Amerika is going I may not want to return. If I were a younger man I would get the hell out of here.
Where would you go?
@@deanmartin2332 Costa Rico, Canada, Switzerland, England, should I keep going. Fortunately as an old man I won't have to endure the absurd place we are becoming. The Bible will become a history and science book in schools.
It should not be called "Internal" Space Station that does not involve China.
it's not called internal
Why all of you neglected and didn't call India also a superpower country can help from beginning and send space ship
@@fabianyaptortong1885 🤣
@fabianyaptorton NO JOKE!! the two stranded astronauts are saved!!!
🙋 WHEN YOU'RE MORE CONCERNED about "Looks" than "Lives", you know your priorities are messed up ! 😠
Boeing can't even build commercial jet liners that are reliable. Yet they are given billions of dollars to build spacecraft!
They know exactly who to call.
SpaceX
Russians
But.. they .. um.. lost the phone number!
@@yanmarle2864 --- call the best of breed --- BOEING, America's Shining Star!
Boeing 😱!!!!
WTH not only do we have astronauts stuck but we just crash junk into the ocean
Future .. welcome to the ISS tour .. here is the Boeing Starliner Lounge where astronauts can relax, read, play games and practice hobbies.
Oh my gosh, seriously no offense, but it would be really really nice if they could’ve done a more concise delivery of what’s going on here
international but exclude some countries... english word is confusing.
international = existing, occurring, or carried on between nations
now you know what the word means, so perhaps now you understand that anything is internationl if it includes more than 1 country / nation.
it's called INTERNATIONAL space station, NOT global.
your brain is confusing, you don't understand english words.
@@SethiozProject ah, so that's why there are now 2 international space stations... one of which some tourists got stuck there and could not return.
looks like international now becomes the western countries ex-russia are weak and let their tourists stranded in space... only left english words to be great. lol
theyre stuck in space
Just like in the movie Marooned (1969)
DAVID COPPERFIELD! THATS HOW!
Docking to the "mother ship" is "Star wars like"? Someone's never seen Star Wars.
International space station is not international at all but only for a few countries if you are in the club.
If they can depart at any moment, then they don't need a plan B.
The bad consequences of relying on 'lies' for success, and toxic business lobbying by top US state officials. 😅
@radio9730: 60s pajamas will never leave its astronauts stuck in space)))
ISS needs a hair salon for the touristnaut.
No lady, we don’t have to wait and founding out. We already have two space stations orbiting Earth right now.
Why crash the iss into the Atlantic when the Pacific is larger and less land to fall on.
This just shows how solid the Soyuz platform is. No matter the nationality, space is hostile to every one of us, there needs to be continued collaboration on space exploration.
I agree with the 2nd part, but Soyuz has had several issues over the last few years as well. One could not return to earth and the crew were rescued with a second Soyuz. A soyuz had a malfunction just last year which almost pushed the ISS out of its desires or it.
something had been overcapacity in so-called ISS now .did the American politicians notice that and care? 😂
okay........ just call space x.
Safety for the astronauts is of paramount concern to every countries.
It is an occupational hazard to be an astronaut.
NASA should stop making excuses for Starliner deep seated problem and start preparing a mission to bring the astronaut home.
The USA should collaborate with the increasingly successful Chinese space program. It would be terrific to have the two superpowers collaborate rather than compete.
Collaborate with China? No, the U.S. has settled on the "Tonya Harding Strategy!"
The Wolf Amendment prohibits collaboration
Then work with India, they willing and ready to help
@@fabianyaptortong1885 --- willing and ready to help but NOT ABLE
@@KayyHong that's not India probelm, india willing to help but didn't say will succeed
Message :" Don't ride Boeing", better take airbus😂
Talking a lot of smoke and mirrors, changing the subject, speculation is not facts, I thought we are supposed to be cleaning up the oceans, not dumping toxic space junk in it
point nemo in the Atlantic? looks like the pacific....but that's par for people these days and there attention qualities
Food and other supply?
A whistleblower is ready to testify about Starliner's ongoing issues. Apologies, we just received an update. There was an accident.
@radio9730: didn’t you say rus capsule was leaked? COMICAL indeed)).
Shuttle covered in ice? Go for launch! Wing damaged by foam? Go for re entry! (They did not even inform the crew). New super duper capsule is haywire? No, everything is fine!
That is the American Way, don't complain
Plan B is SpaceX, plan C is ...
That's American dream. You can dream but cannot fulfill.
Why did they let them go to be stuck. Do they have food. Please turn them soon. I'm so worried about them. Praying 🙏
Be humble and ask the russian to rescue them...
Soyuz is the most reliable vehicle for space exploration as we wait for SpaceX
What do you mean wait for SpaceX?
Did she say "International Space Ship"?
Take refuge in NASA !
8 day mission. Were they returned? No
NASA/Boeing can't garrentee the Starliner will correctly orientate for reentry and we all know what a mission looks like when a craft reenters without heat shielding. So they are effectively stuck because of a potential to burn up.
Get help from SpaceX, Russia or China.
If its Being ... you're not going ... home.
The 60's and 70's technology were far better.
Lost in space? Call Elon!
BOEING is supposed to tale you from Point A to Point B
and sometimes not
Well if two are stuck wouldn't that mean they are all stuck?
No. The Russians are fine.
Nobody is stuck, they can bring everybody back with SpaceX Dragon, it has the capacity of 4-7 people and they've 4 operational spacecrafts, one of the major issues is that it would be humilating for Boeing so they are resisting it.
The language of "two NASA astronauts stuck in space“ could be an exaggeration, for according to the NASA those two astronauts are NOT officially recognized as "stuck in space" but have extended their stay at the ISS with the date of return to the Earth yet to be ascertained on further notice, pending the availability of the official announcement, should there ever be one.
I would feel pretty stuck in their shoes, all of your semantics aside. They have no return date. No confirmed flight plan.
@@vanessac1721 , Can't you tell the head of the thread was being critical of the NASA with not so subtle sarcastic tone, only short of accusing the NASA of deliberately placing the life of astronauts in extremely grave danger?
The fact remains that the NASA and the contractor were fully aware the now-stuck spacecraft was having the helium leak and thruster issues prior to its launch, and yet they just went ahead blindly shooting it out into the space.
That reminds one of the similar scenario when the Space Shuttle Challenger was launched and then blew up later, where the NASA and the contractor were also fully aware, prior to the launch, that there was a leak in the gasket in the ring that connects the two segments of the rocket, which was prone to explosion and fire hazard. Yet, the NASA just went ahead and shot the Challenger into space blindly. The rest was history.
Ummm. Orion isn't a failed project but is part of the ongoing Artemis project. It has a completely different purpose.
No choice but to ask Russia for help.
The ISS has an escape pod.
One or two, one for sure, not sure about the second one, might be a figment of my imagination.
There is free helping hand India waiting for USA space request
In summary, Boeing is synonymous with disasters.
No.
Non story.
How can Sunni and Butch return n a spaceship that they have not been trained to fly?
NASA only paid one way tickets for them 😢
Space X and Boeing... fml...
Also... wow. A space grave. Like why are we so intent with ruining our planet like this.
They will be safer doing a free dive from the ISS to the Atlantic Ocean than ride that Boeing space coffin.
Tell the truth, you space have holl, need to fix...
Ups west have ... problems ? Wow
I don't think that Medusa hair will fit in SPACE X . She need a Dragon for himself!
OK! they could always jump into Chinese space station like they do in the movie.
"In the middle of the Atlantic"? Is this a stand-up comedian talking?
Boeing strikes agrain!
The NASA call the Chinese or the Russian ,maybe they will be helping us.
Look like an deserted space station, why did they sent these 2 astronauts?
There are currently 9 astronauts on the ISS.
@@wisemanofsorts6068 --- it is overpopulated
The de-evolution of mankind is sickening. Remember multiple missions called Apollo. Guess not.
are they gonna die? they’ve been stuck there for much longer than the plan.😮
Why not ask China for help
do really need two national space stations? 🤣
So why did Julia Sega imply there is some kind of problem with one company being more or less competitive with another company by saying: "the problem is if they choose Space X as the savior that is going to strengthen their (SX) dominant position". This seems very political considering there is a real problem to address here. Is this more Boeing mentally concentrating on cost and optics again? Let's just get these guys back without jeopardizing these rest of the station crew and allow the embarrassment to Boeing be a useful lesson so they can lift their game.
SpaceX is just waiting for the call.
Unfortunately Falcon is grounded at the moment.
.. if you will.
Nasa can use the solar panels as wings for the two to fly back. Thus making history.😂😂😂😂
they just have to ask the AI how to bring back them to earth
