#Space #ISS Here's the video of today's #NASA #Boeing #Starliner #CFT audio-only telecon.
I listened to most of it ... No, they're not stranded..
This is a test flight. They're conducting tests. A lot of tests. The whole lot of tests have led to understanding what caused the thruster problems. It appears the problem is corrected, but how to prove it?
As a *contingency* NASA is looking at crew return options *if* they have to use a Dragon. That's what testing is for.
@AskTheDevil If you drive somewhere on vacation, and your car breaks down, even though the mechanics are "testing" the car to figure out what needs to be fixed, you're still stranded. Even if you can get someone else to come pick you up, you're still stranded. @WordsmithFL

I should probably be quiet and trust them to let us know when they know.
@WordsmithFL Yes, I'm sure everything is fine, and they'd definitely tell us if the Starliner had endangered everyone's lives, because we are always told the truth.
I'm sorry, but it looks like they're having a real problem, up there, and it's starting to feel like they're not being honest about it.
