BOEING...it ain't a safety company
Astronauts’ return to Earth delayed over Boeing ship’s issues. Boeing recently got a break from its PR troubles when it finally succeeded in its long-delayed launch of its Starliner rocket, which ferried two astronauts to the International Space Station. But now the company has a “what goes up must come down” problem.

Don’t rely on Boeing.
Thankfully, I was still in the window for no-fee cancellations of my Space Walk.

Let the free market take over for NASA they said... That's the best way to keep costs in check and keep the best and brightest working on these things they said...
@InvaderGzim @Madken65 Has free market made any industry better?
I'm not sure...
But then, I don't think we've ever experienced a 'FREE MARKET' in the history of mankind.
NASA and Boeing have postponed the astronauts’ return until at least June 26 in order to keep the spacecraft in orbit to study issues including helium leaks and malfunctioning thrusters, leaving the astronauts on the ISS almost twice as long as planned.
