I would NOT want to be one of the astronauts on the Starliner's first launch.
Use crash dummies instead!
Currently I wouldn’t want to set foot in any type of vehicle made by Boeing 😅😬
@@corvettesbme they are... They are just alive.
@@corvettesbmethey already did, this is the 2nd launch of starliner
@@Sponge1310 Anything built before they were taken over by MD would be fine.
15:11 massive props for that pronounciation
It's very easy to rhyme in Chinese poetry.
dong fang hong tian gong
Good ole groundliner
yep, Starlemon
Look forward to these updates every week! You present it so well. Kudos to you all!
Thanks to Elysia and Team. Greetings from Germany
Elysia is back! Hells yeah!
2:39 - BOM (big orbital maneuvers) would be a great name for a main thruster system. They missed out on that one.
Another great update, Elysia. Thanks NSF.
Another interesting NSF update and as always professionally delivered by E.S. 👍
Great explanation of the size of the failing seal. Jolly well done.
“Seal? Where we’re going we don’t need a seal.”
Remember when the Initial hope and plan was they even make 10 flights before retiring them....
Thank you Elysia for another great This Week In Spaceflight. I realy enjoy these weekly updates, and all the hard work that all of the NSF staff put into them. Thank's again!!!!
Starliner an accident looking for a place to happen. Delivered late and BILLIONS of dollars in cost overruns.
It’s such a shame that a once great company like Boeing has fallen so far.
@@Knightfang1that’s what happen when you prioritise profits over all else.
@@testpilotian3188 absolutely correct, and it started with the merger with McDonnell Douglas in 97. They moved their corporate offices clear across the country from their manufacturing facilities, and quality has been in a slow steady decline ever since.
Thank you for the concise presentation, Elysia. You have excellent communications skills.
Gotta have balls of steel to get on that Starliner considering all the problems it’s had.
Or maybe boobs of steel?
I agree. If I was are astronaut, I would be having doubts going on it. You want to feel safe and confident but with all those issues, it's a dam no for me.
Good to see Elysia back Thanks
These updates are amazing. The quality is a major compliment to the hard work that goes into these.
While the Starliner flight has been deemed safe enough, I didn't think I'd want to be on it just yet, for myself.
Not to be a complainer, but the into music, while a great piece, plays at a level where I have to either move the volume to a fraction of what is needed during the actual content or mute it, which is a shame.
It seems much more closely balanced on recent live streams, but still needs some adjustment, in my opinion
I didn't think I'm the only one, but my family and friends are a statistically insignificant sample size.
Welcome back! We missed you!
I always look forward to a well-delivered summary of the news in space, and my wife looks forward to your fabulous earrings. Win-win, thanks!
Good to see you.
LETS GO NEW UPDATE, Never disappoint NSF!
getting through the week, one TWIS at a time :)
Awesome updates thanks for sharing
Cool!
This should be an exciting episode!!!!
Are you a real person? Asking for a friend.
Awesome thanks
Flying with a leak. Feels very Boeing.
As long as the door holds...😊
@@nigelmorris4769 they are getting pretty good with gases escaping pressurised vessels. I'm sure the door will stay in place this time and the air just leaks around it.
remember what happened to the shuttle when they had a seal (o-ring) fail...so are Boeing trying to re-create that?
@@neilfleming2787this is just helium, nothing combustable here
And the shuttle that had a engine leak and a short circuit in the bay saved the day..
Great you are using UTC, 👌
Those earrings are fantastic!! More exciting than the other space news. Thanks!!😃
Hooray!
Like a lot of people, I'm wonder why the hell they're doing a crewed launch of Starliner without ever having 1 mission where the thing wasn't a mess. Yes it did go up once and sorta made it's mission objectives but it still had so many problems that it's been years getting fixed...and now without another test launch they're gonna put people on it?
If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going
Rock on
I really hope that Akatsuki continues its mission. It is the only probe orbiting Venus and this planet is so interesting that something amazing can happen at any time, like a volcano eruption, and we won't even notice it without an orbiter observing what is happening beneath all these clouds.
We investigated and realized we are not able to ever launch the strandliner
yay
Congratulations to team.🎉🎉🎉
Sunitha Williams 🎉🎉🎉
Another great detailed & interesting show thanks ps when ever is see Elysia i think of the song Ariel by Dean Freeman
i see you corrected al the "edging" thing with "inch" good job
Idk why but starliner looks like a testing Apollo capsule from the Gemini program
Great another Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly coming up.
sorry, but that starliner bit sounds like they are going for expediency over safety....is that not the case?
its a tiny leak that would take over 3 months to repair and get back into service
By now you must speak fluent Chinese lol awesome update!
This star liner launch has me more nervous than any other launch I’ve ever seen. I pray for the safety of those astronauts.
Me too…
Hopefully Boeing didn't use 777 parts on Starliner.
@@chadhamlin3881I am sure they did.
/s
Thoughts and prayers... 🙄
@@chadhamlin3881 i mean the 777 is hardly the only boeing product thats been having trouble lately
A seal about "as thick as 10 papers stacked on to of each other" = 1mm 🙂
I wonder if Boeing have checked the doors on Starliner )
Man! The Boeing capsule looks like an old car full of wrinkles! 🤣🤣🤣
THE BEST PRESENTER
Nice to see you back. Shame about the background semi-musical noises. Check out musical anhedonia sometime.
❤
NASA & Boeing should have fixed the Starliner's helium leak issue, hopefully it doesn't prove to be bigger problem later. I don't think it will launch anyway
3:10 Is that Richard Hammond?!
I thought it was Tony Stark
😎
"Hope" is not a strategy for spaceflight... among other things.
This week in non spaceflight. Someone sprayed it with the scrubbing bubbles..
RTL (rush to launch)
16:32 it's about a launch on "next week may 21st" shouldn't it be 31st? Maybe I'm not hearing right😅
I'm hearing Boeing found a way to cut another corner.
Blue is ready to crash onto the new landing platform if it launches.
By the next episode of TWIS, Starship will probably have launched. Hard to believe, considering how quick the turnaround time is getting
It'd be faster if the FAA didn't drag their feet.
@@XShadowAngel The FAA is right on time for the launch on June 5th
@@SpaceflightExplained I'm aware, but for the prior launches SpaceX was ready to go for weeks or months while they waited around twiddling thumbs for FAA approvals. We'd be on launch 4 or 5 by now.
@@XShadowAngelthis is launch 4.
@@KatharineOsborne Context. As in we'd have already launched 4 or 5 by now, not be sitting around waiting on 4. After launch one, they didn't approval for launch 2 for over 6 months. SpaceX was ready to go for months and just waiting around.
Of course, we all have very high confidence in Boeing software.
Right?
No
If NASA and the crew do, then so do I. Who am I to say otherwise?
Also for anyone reading this comment, the Boeing aerospace division and the aviation division are two very different entities.
@@dr4d1s So OFT-1 didn't have software issues? And no point in discussing Max software disasters.
Sincerely hoping all goes well but admit to being a bit nervous.
@@TheGhungFu never said it didn't. Yes I am a bit nervous as well but like I said, if everyone who made, operate or manage the mission and hardware are good with it, so am I. Who am I to say otherwise?
@@dr4d1s For being very different, they seem very similar.
Background music by...?
Lfg!!!
What’s all the small holes on the outside of the Starliner?
Ah, those are for stability in the case of an abort. Basically you need drag to be behind you if you want to be able to fly in a stable way (otherwise the capsule will want to flip around). While on Atlas V this isn't a problem since the rocket has all of that covered, if Starliner aborts and flys itself away it needs to artificially create more drag, and that's what those plates full of holes are doing. Exclusively there to grab onto some air and keep things stable
@@thomashayden804 ok! Interesting, thx
I have a bad feeling about Starliner's launch. They need to scrub.
Amazing how RUclips observers know as much or more about Starliner as the engineers do to question whether a launch should happen!? How do you do that??
I just love your earrings ❤❤
Starline, an Apollo 1960s style space capsule. Starship, a Star Trek Enterprise (almost) sized space ship. Keep trying NASA! LOL
How could you miss the biggest news from India on 3d printed rocket launch?
Are the astronauts REALLY gonna get in the Boeing thing?
Find out tomorrow morning!
Are you kidding me Starliner Inch Closer To Launch. They are not even moving forward lol
👀🚀🚧👍🖖
This is the second time I’ve heard aforementioned mispronounced, the first was an AI bot. It is NOT Aforementioned, it IS aFORmentioned.
If I were NASA I would be furious that Boeing are so late and charging so many more millions to launch than space x.
Boeing made a spaceship? I'm not sure I even want to get on their planes any more.
To infinity ….AND BEYOND!!!!
I'm honestly looking forward to the starliner launch. I hope it goes well, they can certainly use the morale boost for the people who are working hard to make this whole thing work.
Why would anyone with money keep Starliner alive after aaaaaalllllll of these issues...?
Wow, China is blasting off ships in the ocean! That is amazing, and worrying.
With a known bad helium seal on Star Leaker I'll be listening carefully for the astronauts voices to crack.
ULA is struggling to do something with Starliner that SpaceX has been doing for years now with Crew Dragon. Sad
ULA doesn’t build Starliner; Boeing does.
@@dphuntsman You're right. Its Boeing's Starliner going up on ULA's rocket. Garbage on top of garbage. Both Boeing and ULA have wasted BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars wirh no positive return. NASA should just cancel this trash endeavor and cut their losses. $5B invested (more like wasted) and all we've had is years of delays. Just this morning they tried again, and unsurprisingly it was scrubbed (AGAIN) at T-3:50.
Boeings answer to everything ~ "Software Mods" !!!
Just like 737Max !!!
To HELL with A+ Engineering, just over-ride it with "Code" & let it leak !!
THAT,
right there,
IS,
Boeings PROBLEM !!
What’s the worst that could happen??
Godspeed, Capricorn One! 🤣🤣🤣
The vehicle has faulty seals and they still press for a manned launch.
They learned absolutely nothing!
It's always great to see commenters on RUclips who know more about Starliner systems than the engineers do!
Welllll….I’m not a fan of Boeing these days…..having worked with them in the old days…..but you’re wrong there: It’s not uncommon at all on complex vehicles- shuttle being the biggest example (was most complex) to lift off with an entire list of things not working. But you discuss/analyze/sometimes test related to each one, make a decision about what situation you’d be in if the NEXT WORSE failure actually happened in flight…and then make a cost/benefit/schedule decision as to whether to fly as-is or not. And keep in mind, doing maintenance/change outs, etc., are not ‘free’- and I’m not talking about cost-free; I’m talking they are not RISK-free. Like when I work on my car myself, I sometimes break other things in the process- whether I realize it immediately or not. Like deciding whether to do an operation or not. And all of the above even applies to small leaks. - Dave Huntsman
Beoing went to shite the second blackrock got control
LMAO😂 North Korea doesn't launch rockets in secrecy😂
(Love ya.. but that background music is a bit too distracting, maybe something more ambient without random pitched sounds.. there wasn’t anything wrong with the previous track either… beside that love ya still )
Deciding not to fly a vehicle just because they know there are major flaws and faults… doesn’t feel very Boeing.
Challenger and Space Shuttle learning has already been forgotten.
These two test pilots will get a nice monument and a place in NASA history. May end the government program.
Thumbs Down.
I think that one of the underlieing causes of all the delays is the absolute unwillingness to take any sort of risk, mostly for political and financial reasons. Boeing would lose too much funding if something were to happen and (other) clients would likely walk away. Couple this with an apparent stingyness in funding proactive and preventative testing and you get the current state of multiple public delays.
I don't know how you can claim "apparent stinginess in funding proactive and preventative testing" because in the first place Boeing received 4.2 BILLION $$ for Starliner design and construction which is more than a billion $ more than Space X received for Dragon.
Add to that the many years of delay to get to this point. A lot of testing was going through that whole time that found problems with the parachutes and other problems. The helium leak is the last in a long line of matters that needed fixing. The helium leak doesn't appear serious enough to warrant overhauling the vehicle. That's sounds like what they would probably call an acceptable risk.
Thumbs Down. Boeing has NO other clients, either pending or projected; nor have they ever tried to get any. - Dave Huntsman
I don't understand why NASA (and NASA SpaceFlight for that matter) continue to be a so rosy about Starliner? In the history of NASA Has there ever been a program, that is so bad that still is alive?? Dump Starliner, invest in Dreamchaser and if necessary pay SpaceX to build another Dragon Capsule.
It’s always good to have competition. Besides, I recall that SpaceX has another Dragon in the works.
1. Starliner launches
2. Starliner malfunctions
3. Starliner crew perishes
4. NASA over-reacts and shuts down all spaceflight, including their biggest competitor, SpaceX
Thumbs Down. NASA would not shut down SpaceX for an UN-related Starliner failure. - Dave Huntsman
@@dphuntsman Never underestimate pettiness.
For how long are you going to back a company that obviously is putting many people at risk every single day? This is just crazy.
So in listening to the explanation about the "small leak" and how fixing it by destacking could take months to do safely they come up with a work around. WTF!!!
1. This stinks of desperation on boeing's part who are desperate to get this pig off the ground.
2. If i as an infantry soldier said to my guys "right this is the (high risk) plan but we cant have a medic with us but its ok because we all have a field dressing each.
Im staggared that they are willing to risk 2 peoples lives because to fix it "properly" "safely" could take months and conflict with other iss traffic......so what. This thing is a disasterous relic thats over cost and so late it may just be pregnant (where have i heard that before 😢)
Joking aside this is reckless(regardless of how small the risk) any risk is just that A RISK
I genuinely hope all goes well

What a piece of crap. (starliner)
