@pbsnews: NASA is still grappling with how and when to bring two astronauts back home to Earth after their spacecraft suffered leaks and technical issues. Originally, the astronauts — Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams — were supposed to be in space for about eight days. They have now been there for about 60 days after Boeing's Starliner spacecraft suffered thruster failures and helium leaks, delaying their planned return flight home. Those failures have raised concerns about the spacecraft's ability to return to Earth safely with Wilmore and Wiliams. NASA officials have said they might wait for SpaceX's next flight and have the two test pilots ride back on that spacecraft, keeping them in space until February. Miles O'Brien reports. #milesobrien #nasa #boeing #boeingstarliner #starliner #spacetravel #space #spaceexploration #tiktokspace #pbsnews #ButchWilmore #SuniWilliams #astronaut #astronauts #spacex

At what point does market failure after market failure lead to a point where NASA stops contracting with loser companies who don't care about anything besides pocketing lucrative govt contracts?

Why cant NASA take the building and deploying capsules and rockets, instead of private companies?

I hope they - can they- remote the Starliner home and see if it breaks up. That way they clear the ISS hatch, & keep the crew safe?
