The crew dragon will head up way before that with supplies, they just have to do the jobs of the astronauts of the seats they are taking before they can ride home.
NASA doesn't have a space suit that is compatible with SpaceX. NASA/Boeing doesn't currently have a way to undock from the ISS with the vehicle uncrewed. They don't have a current way of flying the vehicle return to earth uncrewed. NASA has a great deal of problems to solve now that they decided to go ahead and launch the test flight with known issues.
Yeah, just imagine ........... "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the delay due to technical issues but your flight will now depart in six months time"
If your core value was safety you wouldn’t have launched with known issues. This is the culmination of over a decade of incompetence and mismanagement at Boeing and nasa. IMHO
Less woth NASA but agreed. At the same time though this is exactly why NASA wanted multiple crew ready systems in place. To imprve on safety and allow for unknown situations to be handled like this, unlike when they were flying the shuttle where damage to a ship basically meant loss of the crew vs just sending another ship up. They had the capability with the shuttle but it was such an undertaking vs the setup that SpaceX uses when it comes to turn around time of their flight hardware.

Six months in space is VERY detrimental to the crew's health. They will experience serious muscle atrophy. And upon return they will probably be wheelchair bound for awhile, and require extensive physical therapy to recover!
@xxxxxxxxxx6903 Yeah, that was the past. They have exercise they can do every day, so the muscle loss that was a problem in the past is not nearly as severe.
The fact that after all these months they still don't know what the problem is with starliner says enough. Unfortunately there were flaws in the design that cannot be fixed right now or anytime soon.
That's how NASA has done it for years. At least going back to the 60s. That's why Apollo 13 the CO2 scrubbers on the LEM were different from the ones on the command module.
Because in 2014 when this was awarded, SpaceX was much newer, working through lots of technical bugs on their Cargo Dragon, and had only a few flights under their belt.

Consider this too. Boing is a major contractor for the Air Force. A very large number of planes came from them, when quality was still a thing. If their quality has degraded so much, I'd think the government would be considering replacing them with one of the other aerospace companies out there.
Privatizing space flight is going as well as privatizing health care, utilities, and prisons. It is truly stunning how much corruption and greed we the people are willing to tolerate.
It did not go unnoticed by me that this report went out of their way to not state the obvious: that Elon Musk’s company Space X will be bringing the astronauts home. The efforts by the mainstream media to show contempt for the man at all turns never cease to amaze me.
What?!? It’s not safe for people to be kept in zero gravity that long. Muscle degeneration is a thing. I’ll pray for their health and safe trip home hopefully sooner rather than later.
Those are lives out there. They should've called it immediately and asked space X. No one really talks about Boeing, NASA, or even blue origin anymore. Currently the outer regions belong to Space X
Okay this is kinda absurd but somehow wiredly true. Blue Origin however seems have a lot of merit and NASA is still building lots of important technologies for deep space even though they aren't doing a lot with rockets today.
Boeing also owns half of SLS & ULA..... but America hates SpaceX.... Blue Origin are 8 years behind schedule and just lost 2 sections of the fuel tanks in a warehouse accident.
And remember who was/is chairman of the top federal space program oversight committee. They would have faced the ultimate blame for any disaster, for not adequately enforced quality oversight on contractors. That person's initials are KH.
What did he say ? Test flights are risky, we know that. US should help from other countries to help this crew come back. We all help each other. They are not the only one in ISS.
Boeing is an embarrassment. After all of Boeings shenanigans I’m surprised they are still in business. Government should take over, clean house and fired all the bean counters!

Suni and Butch are NOT lost in space as the media has sometimes stated. But the psychological-emotional impact in adapting to this unexpected challenge can be addressed in a uniquely uplifting way. NASA should consider coordinating a Livestream Educational Event with they and young future astronaut teens across the planet.

Technical work alone will not sustain a human being in space. Human beings need integration with their earthly teammates in ongoing, meaningful ways.
Space X started out sending modules to ISS with supplies. Then they sent an uncrewed module. Only after those experiences did they send up a crew. Space X did it right. Boeing has made a lot of mistakes in their space mission as well as their planes.
Boeing has always had a bad reputation regarding its ability to manage and build non-airplane projects. But now, all their great engineers that designed and built the 7X7 fleet in the 60s and 70s are dead or retired, and they never bothered to replace them because they didn't foresee changes in the industry caused by higher fuel prices and deregulation creating greater competition between airlines. It was a huge mistake to allow them to buy up McDonnell-Douglass. I dislike Airbus planes because their inability to dump fuel in an emergency decreases one's survival odds from 1 in a million to 1 in two million.
Your ability to survive an airplane crash is very high (most hull losses aren't even fatal). Neither A320 nor 737 can dump fuel. Planes can also just land overweight if needed...
NASA no longer builds space crafts because the government decided it would be cheaper to let other companies compete to do it. This is what "cheaper" looks like. Glad NASA is still enforcing safety protocols.
Why February? Seems like there MUST be a way to bring folks back from Space within a very short time. What if a station had a serious failure that threatened life of a crew and they needed rescue, NOW and not 8 months after the fact.
The reason why they're there is to test the Starliner to see if it's safe to use. But if there was a real emergency, they could get back on a Russian space capsule or a similar vehicle by SpaceX that are already there and functioning.
Most likely is that SpaceX needs to adjust the interior of Dragon to accommodate the additional personnel. Also, it's likely they'll send up supplies as well to replenish what has to be used by the extra 2.
