    We really still sure this whole decompression sickness thing was just a “simulation”?

    What would one expect from a company that indirectly allegedly has its own employee murdered for speaking up in favor of basic safety. If they don't care about their own employees, and they don't care about hundreds of passengers, they sure as hell don't care about a few astronauts.

    If it's a Boeing I'm not going.

    are these actually scary leaks? in the article they say they'd be fine even if the leak were 100x the size.

    With the officially stated reason from Boeing being "It would be quite involved" to fix before launch: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/05/nasa-and-boeing-are-ge...

    It would almost be comical at this point if this company weren't directly responsible for human lives.

    Now with 5 leaks, at what point does it make sense to jettison the Starliner and get something else on the pad, something more reliable. Like SpaceX?

    I wonder if there is an Enterprise equivalent for UFOs hire.

    Towing fees back to Roswell I could imagine would be pricey.
