This article on Futurism.com describes the new problems that surfaced during the Boeing Starliner's recent return to earth. Boeing seem to be very proud of the spacecraft's "bullseye landing" in New Mexico, but during the descent another thruster failed and it experienced a temporary blackout of the guidance system. These new problems suggest that NASA made the right decision in not bringing the two astronauts home on the Boeing craft. Futurism.com suggest that Boeing may now try to "divest the manned spaceflight business". The question is, would anyone want to buy it? | |
