If you want something fixed, give it to Elon Musk.
He’s an amazing fixer.
He’s really smart and on the ball.
Boeing employees are “humiliated” after NASA announced that two astronauts who have been stranded on the International Space Station by the company’s troubled Starliner space capsule will have to be rescued by Elon Musk’s upstart rival SpaceX, one worker told The Post.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams — who went up the ISS in June for what was supposed to be an 8-day mission — will have to wait another six months until a SpaceX Crew Dragon space craft can carry them safely home because their original ride is leaking helium and has problems with its thrusters.
The Florida-based staffer with Boeing’s space program said the decision was the latest blow for the aerospace giant, which is already suffering backlash from a slew of commercial flight incidents earlier this year.
“We have had so many embarrassments lately, we’re under a microscope. This just made it, like, 100 times worse,” one worker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.
“We hate SpaceX,” he added. “We talk s–t about them all the time, and now they’re bailing us out.”
“It’s shameful. I’m embarrassed, I’m horrified,” the employee said.
With morale “in the toilet,” the worker claimed that many in Boeing are blaming NASA for the humiliation.
Boeing maintains its Starliner craft could safely get the astronauts back to Earth after putting them on the ISS during its maiden crewed flight on June 5.
Yeah, the situation is that NASA is saying the craft isn’t safe while Boeing is saying it doesn’t matter if it’s leaking, it will be fine.
It seems unlikely that in six months Elon is going to be able to fix this issue. From what we’ve seen, Elon can’t do anything right.
Normally, you would just ask the Russians for help here. Though I guess there are obvious reasons not to do that.
I looked this up recently, and experts interviewed said the Russians would take “weeks or months” to fix this. That sounds like less than six months, however.
No one wants to see anyone die. But it would be so funny if Elon took six months to do this and then failed and these people die and Elon tries to do a podcast about it that has technical glitches for two hours.
Seriously: Elon Musk cannot run a podcast. Why would anyone think he can save astronauts stuck in space?
By the way: have you seen any proof that space is even real?
Good summary by @friedberg
In 2014, NASA awarded @Boeing $4.2 billion to build Starliner – Zero successful flights thus far.
In 2014, NASA awarded @SpaceX $2.6 billion to build Crew Dragon – 13 successful crewed flights thus far. pic.twitter.com/06Yra2B0eH
