It's over for Starliner! NASA sees Dragon 1000x better... Boeing Starliner In the end, Boeing’s $4.3 Billion Starliner may never get any astronauts into space. After the most recent delay in April, the Starliner was supposed to fly in July. However, the chair of a NASA safety panel just urged the agency not to rush into a crewed test flight of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner vehicle, calling for an independent “deep look” at technical issues with the spacecraft. What the hell? Should Nasa stop this disaster forever? Let's expose everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech: During a public meeting of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel on May 25, Patricia Sanders, the chair of the committee, expressed doubt regarding NASA and Boeing's ability to address known issues with the Starliner spacecraft before the scheduled launch on July 21. Sanders emphasized the importance of ensuring safety and mitigating risks before proceeding with the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission, which would be the first crewed flight of the spacecraft with two NASA astronauts onboard. She acknowledged the projected launch date but clarified that it was merely a slot in the launch schedule and not an indication of readiness for the flight test. “There remains a long line of NASA processes still ahead to determine launch readiness” for the CFT mission, the first crewed flight of the spacecraft with two NASA astronauts on board. “That should not be flown until safety risks can either be mitigated or accepted, eyes wide open, with an appropriately compelling technical rationale.” The delay in the CFT launch date, initially set for March and later rescheduled to July, was intended to provide more time for certification and address specific concerns, including parachute and avionics system issues. Sanders highlighted the ongoing significance of parachute certification for the launch. Additionally, she mentioned other recently discovered concerns, such as risks associated with integrated software testing and battery sidewall rupture, which were accepted temporarily.
