Yup. Just send up an empty Space X capsule and bring them home. Then send the "starliner" back on it's own and see what happens to it. If it fails, then "The Big B" should be fired...
No need for the capsule to be empty, as the Dragon has four seats for normal operations, and can handle up to seven in an emergency. One issue that might be a minor challenge is the compatibility of the Boeing pressure suits with the Dragon life support. An adapter would have to be constructed, but that should be done quickly if needed. In a real emergency they could come back "shirtsleeve" mode, which should be safe, given the Dragon's safety record so far.
Just send up two spaces space suits in the capsules ? Problem solved .
@@concernedcitizen6240 unfortunately the SpaceX suits are custom made, and they don't have all the measurements for the two astronauts.
@@patkelley4071 Couldn't SpaceX just send up extra pressure suits too? Why bother with adapters when NASA most likely has the measurements of the astronauts.
@@patkelley4071 They have space suits. Measurements must exist.
SpaceX: $2.6 billion for Dragon. 12 crewed launches, 46 people in space so far.
Boeing: $4.2 billion for the dumpster fire starliner. 5 years late, 2 people in space. Will they return alive? Legitimate question.
it's a shame for a company like Boeing to come to this, lack of audacity, old 80s style design
@@lachattemulticoloreif they can't do planes reliably why would you think they could handle a spacecraft
That pretty much sums this mess up.
they spent an additional 1.5 billion over that
SpaceX Dragon - reusable which reduces total cost, and cost per flight
Boing Starliner - one time use, throwaway.
shows Dragon is a higher quality vehicle, its not a paper cup to be tossed in the trash
Boeing would not have been allowed to launch astronauts up there if they had to be held to the same standard Spacex was.
Yup. NASA holds a lot of culpability for this situation. If this results in SpaceX or someone else having to facilitate a rescue, heads should be rolling, and not just at Boeing.
lol hope he sees this, champ.
Could not have said it better. It's clear to me that either NASA or the current administration are desperate to give contracts to BO and Boeing.
Well said.
@@JohnPritzlaff Thanks.
I worry, that Boeing thinks the astronauts are whistle blowers too.
TBH if Boeing can't even make quality planes how are they gonna make a spaceship?
Cheaply. But over budget.
Boeing actually can make decent aircraft. Do you realize how many Boeing airliners are out there flying without problems?
Boeing, a history of killing astronauts since 1967. Apollo 1, Challenger, Columbia, and if they try to come home in this ship starliner will be added to that list.
@@juliancrooks3031 The Boeing then is not the Boeing now.
@@donadams8345 their quality is dropping by the year
NASA/US space contractors have been designing space capsules with perfectly operable RCS thrusters since 1961. With Boeing being paid over $4B dollars for this vehicle, there is absolutely NO excuse for this. Time they were fired.
Aerojet Rocketdyne built the thrusters and supplied the valves. Yes, they have been doing it since the 60’s
Late 50s. Remember the X15 had RCS thrusters as well.
Agreed their is no excuse this is not new technology. I send to be a Boeing sub contractor and have a few friends still working there. They are extremely upset over how the company now operates.
Amen.
& sued for the return of wasted public funds.
I'm really concerned for the safety of the Astronauts!
Yeah.
Theres a real chance they aren't coming home
@huepix they are coming home, it just a matter of whether nasa chooses science and logic, over politics. If they choose logic, we are watching the death of a once great company. If they choose politics,we'll we might be watching the death of 2 astronauts.
@@huepixon starliner that is
Thanks for being a real person and not an AI bot that can't pronounce 'starliner'. Best of luck to you and your family. Cheers.
Yep. Starliner, Starlinner, Starleaner all in one vid I watched.
Thanks so much for your generous support!!! DOWN WITH AI!!
I like your channel and insights. Hope all works out well.
I probably can´t pronounce Starliner either and I am not AI, just not a native English speaker.
It is truly a rare thing nowadays
If it's Boeing, I aint going.
Many Boeing craft apparently can't even get going these days, so it's a moot point.
🤗
If it's SpaceX, it makes sense.
/cents
Thank the useless DEI hires...
@@ginog5037 Great job for making this a race issue. 🙄
Can you IMAGINE the pitiful PR Boeing gets if SpaceX has to send Dragon to rescue?
It's beter trhan asking the Russians. 🤣 You would never hear the end of that.
It would be the end of the decade long money printing exercise for Boeing.
Don't make me imagine it, I will need a change of underwear.
oh boy
I can imagine the PR if the reentry were to go bad and astronauts were to die or be injured. Boeing would never be trusted again.
I've been out of the loop and didn't realize they were doing manned tests with that thing. Scary.
My dad told me about it last week, That was my exact reaction.
yes I agree dump starliner and bring the astronouts home ... let elon musk save them
Prayers for your family, brother.
They need to swallow their pride and ask Elon to help. Imagine if their pride got in the way and something terrible happens? Yeah, this is no time for egos.
Like when NASA didn't want to send Atlantis to rescue Columbia?
This has nothing to with pride or ego, but everything with money. If the astronauts return with Dragon, Starliner and Boeing are done.
@@jtjames79 Atlantis could have gotten the same damage as Columbia. The catastrophic extent of Columbia's damage wasn't clearly established.
@@flybywire5866 That NASA talking point is a perfect example of cowardice.
They also said it was impossible because they would have had to start immediately.
Instead of starting immediately they did the study to see that they had to start immediately. And since they didn't start immediately it wasn't possible.
And this is all on the record.
You want to carry water for murders you go ahead and do that.
@@flybywire5866 Either way Boeing and the Starliner are done.
Send the Starliner back to earth EMPTY and return the astronauts on the Crew Dragon along with the other astronauts on their normal return flight. The Starliner can be reconfigured for future missions as a CARGO ONLY vehicle.
Yes, until they work out the bugs
If the vehicle is unreliable, it could crash into the ISS while attempting to dock, or when leaving the ISS, which is one of the things they fear now.
It can't make it on its own. They had manually fired thrusters to be able to dock in the first place. If there were no people aboard, it would have failed again.
There are only 4 seats on Dragon
And the cause of every single problem will be the Boeing management going "If we fire all of the senior engineers, we can save money and give ourselves bigger bonuses. And if we change the alloys used in those helium valves, we can save money and give ourselves bigger bonuses. And if use this new, simplified thruster design, if we can save money by not testing it properly and we can give ourselves bigger bonuses. And if we make the heat shield thinner, we can save money and give ourselves bigger bonuses. And if we take these components out of the life support system......"
Agree completely. Enter the Dragon. Otherwise it is the Challenger dynamic happening again. The astronauts themselves should refuse.
The SLS boondoggle is the real Challenger waiting to happen again, seeing as it is basically just the Space Shuttle, minus the actual Shuttle.
The old NASA was risk averse, but is now gungho with astronauts lives. These 2 people shouldn't have been launched in a known defective vehicle.
The crew of Challenger would disagree that NASA used to be risk-averse.
@@logansmall5148 yes there was a gradual slide from Apollo through to the shuttle and beyond.
Have space x rescue the astronauts and bill boeing for the full cost. Only use starliner in the future for cargo if at all.
Ship aint safe for cargo..
Well unless you ABSOLOUTLY have to have it vacume packed, cos it will be when it gets there, and frozen solid from the leaky helium
@@AnIdiotAboard_ Also it is not accurate in directing itself autonomously. so starliners autopilot and auto docking is not safe for ISS
If SpaceX has to transport these astronauts back to earth, the Starliner program is done.
Or sell it to the Russians or North Korea.
@@rocketraccoon1976 Why would they buy it lol.
I pray the astronauts get home safe
They wont
You can’t fight “NASA Go Fever.”
Must be very worrying for their families down here.
Didnt we know starliner was not safe and the lives of the astronauts may not survive re-entry like a year ago ?
wonder what those astronauts who bailed from the boeing test flights last year are saying now watching this screwup.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, all the best, Godspeed 🙂
remember when Boeing was dunking on SpaceX for being the new guys, and that *obviously* Starliner was going to work first try and on time?
I remember.
It was funny at first, and now it's just sad tbh
But boeing has a good dei score. Thats all that matters
Smh. Boeing can't keep planes from falling apart, much less space stuff.😂
No way i will get on a bicycle made by them. Just my 2 cents.
If it's Boeing, I'm not going.
Boeing is not what is used to be. The old planes perform very well
NASA needs to call an Uber...uh, I mean an ELON
Send up dragon rescue capsule.
Imagine if they named one of the capsules something like "Starliner Rescue".
I’ve been waiting for this one Jordan. Thanks so much for putting in the effort in the midst of your family’s trouble. I sincerely hope it gets resolved satisfactorily.
Only Boeing makes a one-way space ship.
No chance of starship getting refueled at mars.
Wow, just wow. Starliner literally looks like they grabbed a relic from a museum. That thing vs dragon is not even a fair comparison. Dragon 100% looks like a real up to date with tech capsule. Starliner looks like a freaking 70s capsule.
I know. The difference is so stark it is embarrassing.
Send capsule back without occupants.
Send Dragon to bring back astronauts safely and comfortably.
I couldn't agree more. Send dragon up to get the astronauts and bring starliner back with remote control.
I think that's now the plan. SpaceX will launch a Crew Dragon with only two astronauts and will being back the Starliner astronauts on that special mission. And will try to bring back Starliner by remote control.
The problem is, if Starliner can't reliably separate from the ISS, there is a potential for a catastrophic collision with the ISS. For that reason, Starliner might be stuck.
the starliner vehicle is probably fine. The delays aren't because it can't fly, it's because they want to run tests so they can fix the issue. Sending up a dragon is much harder than it sounds. They'd need to send suits that are to spec, and most of all SpaceX would need to have a dragon that's ready to go on hand.
@@flybywire5866 really? I hadn't heard that. Thanks for the info. What I heard was that they were concerned about maneuvering after they left the station.
@@moonasha I can't believe NASA have a commercial crew program and congress didn't mandate a universal spec suit so it could be used on all craft.
If i could I would but in my current situation i can't even afford 5 euro's or dollars.. if i could I really would .
same here. we all have ups and downs. hopefully enough of Angry's viewers are on an up swing right now to get him the funding he needs.
¡Gracias!
NASA is fucked up… Elon Musk, please we need you before we lose these souls.
I haven't read it yet. But apparently there's some really juicy bits in. Lori Garver's book escaping gravity.
Yet another example of conspiracy theories ending up being spoiler alerts.
NASA is as clickish, political, and toxic as any one imagined.
Those accused of hyperbole weren't even going far enough.
It's Boeing. They're not gonna let a rescue happen because if it did that would be admitting to their faults, which they'd rather kill someone than do.
I imagine someone dies before a rescue happens, imo
Not NASA Boeing is
He is to busy destroying Twitter
@@anoniemw.222 oh boo hoo. Cry harder
This is what happens when when a Fortune 500 corporation tries to build anything
They used to build things well. Then they got rid of all of their engineering managers and replaced them with MBAs.
This is what happens when you merge with General Dynamics.
This is what happens when politicians accept legal bribes via campaign donations and give into corporate pressure and sign contracts with corporations who have no business building anything for NASA.
@@CrimsonTemplar2General Dynamics designed and built the F-16 Viper which is still flying.
Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas and moved their HQ to St. Louis.
Not exactly. SpaceX is doi g quite well. What's true is this is what you get when you let politics decide where the money goes.
Thanks!
Thanks SO MUCH for your generous support!!
The June 26th return date has been cancelled. NASA now says return has been postponed indefinitely. Their words.
Wow.
Lots of hate in these comments 'cause the guy is asking for help. Many of them even unsubscribing, complaining, and attacking the guy.... if you can help, help. if you can't just watch the video and continue with your day.... nobody is twisting your arm.... Your life must be shitty as fuck.
This’ll accelerate a crew Dreamchaser…
I really hope to see it in operation in the near future.
You hear that NASA...
"Starliner is not a safe enough vehicle to risk two of our valuable Astronauts on a re-entry attempt..."
I agree as do many others... what is insane is that NASA does not.
It is all fun and games until we lose another crew, which is going to happen soon unless NASA gets its S together.
Maybe Boeing thinks the astronauts are also whistle blowers.
NASA has already lost astronauts due to arrogance and negligence and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens again
That date of the 26th has now been pushed back to "date to be determined"
Boeing: It's not our problem, these two astronauts bought one-way tickets
Furthermore, like Apollo 13, you gotta stir the helium. Hmmm. Maybe they're scared to stir the Helium.
Thst was liquid oxygen. (LOX)
Helium is non-flammable.
@@williammoreno2378 Oxygen is also non-flammable, but it does support combustion really well.
@@williamgreene4834 O2 is an oxidizer. Helium isn't
@@williammoreno2378 Everything that both of us said was true.
The astronauts should have said, "If it's Boeing, I'm not going!"
I 100% agree angry.
Starliner is not ready
Overlook Horizon has a good explanation of why there aren’t any Crew Dragon capsules that could be quickly made ready for a rescue mission.
Condolences about your family emergency. Never easy. I hope things go as well as they can for you and your fam.
SpaceX to the rescue
Thanks for your effort on these videos, as a space fan they are greatly appreciated!
Commenting to help the algorithm
If only Boeing paided the ammount they pay their hitman, we could have a mars base by now.
I wonder whether NASA will consider this crewed demo flight a success.
Maybe they will require a second crewed demo?
Maybe the Starliner can be put on an empty lot and converted into a theme restaurant. At least then it might work.
1: I agree, find another way home for these two. They've already spent their risk budget.
2: Repeat failures like this are grounds for NASA to cut them off. I agree with many others that this should run as a cargo ship until they get things sorted. Spacex had that experience, and it showed.
3: NASA will ignore this. They focus on the details and won't see the trend. It's also too expensive and potentially crippling to one of the few big airspace firms left. Didn't we learn that nothing should be too big to fail?
4: I think the return will be safe if they do it. Helium is notoriously tough to contain. It fits through any cracks, no matter how small. They have plenty left. The thruster issue seems to be a software problem, as before. The thrusters aren't failing, just getting turned off because the computer thinks something's wrong. Hopefully, they've uploaded a patch already.
My thoughts and prayers are with them and with you. Hope everything works out smoothly in both cases.
I've been expecting Angry to make this video 😂🤣😂😎
I'm surprised he didn't make it two days ago.
Thank you for the honesty
Sending positive vibes your way, AA!!! p.s. You called it years ago on *Boings* astoundingly underwhelming lack of effort, save for collecting their government cks. And yes, bring our crew down on a Dragon.
WOW! Thanks SO MUCH for your generous support!!
$10 sent. Godspeed.
Thanks! Appreciate everything you do. I know how hard you work to provide this excellent content
I wouldn’t be surprised if NASA turn down SpaceX for a rescue attempt. Their pride will get in the way. Hope I’m wrong and NASA let Elon and team do their thing.
Huh? This has nothing to do with NASA pride. Both Boeing/ULA and Spacex are working for NASA. It's Boeing/ULA that would be embarrassed. They are the ones who built and operate Starliner. NASA just pays them to use it. Just like they do with Crew Dragon.
@@kathyowens4947 NASA pride was why they didn't send Atlantis to rescue Columbia.
@@jtjames79true but it's precisely that reason that we will NOT risk the same situation with our brave astronauts in this craft if it's deemed too risky.
No embarrassment for ULA... Vulcan did her job admirably... Boeing is the issue... They built the worst capsule ever... Elon needs to get an adapter asap, get a Dragon up there and get those 2 home...
This will prove spacex dominancy... make urself valuable..
I actually think they did collide on the original test and that was why we saw the unusual uneven wear in the ablative heat shield.
Five bucks. You got it. Prayers and well wishes to you and your family from New York.
Starliner is a death trap waiting to happen, enough is enough it is time to send Crew Dragon, bring Butch and Suni back safe, let Boeing attempt to bring Starliner back remotely, that way if the RCS fails we lose a spacecraft, allowing the crew to attempt to fly it home and the RCS fails we lose them......that is not negotiable!!!!
Boeing: Makes Aircraft that has faulty sensors
Also Boeing Makes Spacecraft that has errors
The parachutes had problems too. Scary.
I agree with Angry on this. These aren’t just two human beings, they have families and relatives who would be devastated if anything bad happened. If NASA and Boeing insist on bringing the astronauts back in Starliner and they do skip off the atmosphere and are lost, then that will be the end for Starliner. The entire program will simply be scrapped. If it malfunctions whilst unmanned, then it’s future is at least debatable. If it safely comes home without astronauts on board then Starliner and Boeing, may still have a future. Human lives are worth more than money. A substitute Crew Dragon would cost what? Perhaps $150 million, or around 1.5 times the cost of an F22 Raptor fighter jet. I’m guessing but whatever the cost, it’s better than risking two valuable people.
Our astronauts are not at risk returning to Earth in Starliner. Period. The end. This video is a red herring.
I think they will die trying to come back in that thing
@@williamcase426 They will not die. Starliner is perfectly safe to return to Earth with both astronauts aboard.
What Angry Astronaut knows and won't tell you is that there are two maneuvering systems in the service module, PLUS another RCS system in the Starliner itself.
On the service module there is the 36 small thruster system called the reaction control system, RCS. 27 of the 36 thrusters are all working perfectly and the nine that are not are housed in a single "doghouse" of the four equidistantly arrayed on the outside of the service module.
As long as two opposite doghouses are operating correctly, and they are, the Starliner has full ability to control attitude. But what if all 36 fail? There's a backup for that too! As a matter of fact there are two backups.
The first is the orbital maneuvering and control (OMAC) thrusters. Those are the larger thrusters you see on the back of the service module, equally spaced and inset from the outside. These are working perfectly, indeed Starliner was put into its precise orbit using these thrusters. They have no problems. Normal procedure for reentry is to retrofire these thrusters to attain the perfect angle into the atmosphere. Normally you would fire all four. But if one fails you can fire any two opposite thrusters to reenter perfectly. So the OMAC system is triply redundant. The astronauts are 100% safe.
Before Starliner actually encounters the atmosphere, after the OMAC thrusters have established the perfect angle of reentry, the service module, containing 100% of the malfunctions encountered in this mission, is jettisoned. From then on the perfectly functioning RCS system of the Starliner capsule itself will guide to a perfect landing. If all those thrusters fail, Starliner is aerodynamically stable and will maintain its heatshield forward to land completely safe, although maybe not exactly where intended.
The statement "astronauts are in mortal danger" is a clickbait lie. Angry Astronaut should be ashamed of himself. Falsely feeding irrational fear is not how space exploration moves forward. This guy wants to use nuclear engines, for God's sake. He's all over the place from callous disregard for safety to being afraid of delusions.
100% Angry… I hope Boeing’s ego doesn’t put these two beautiful humans lives at risk. Let Elon bring them home. 🙏 PS just sent you $25. Much love. Brian
Thanks
Thanks SO MUCH for your generous support!!
Thanks! Hope you can get back to the U.K. Hang in there.
It’s been obvious for years Boeing has lost its ways. The problem is they provide a lot of jobs in a lot of states , that is the only reason they are still around in my mind
NO way, no F*ing way would I get back on that thing for a re-entry.! Crew Dragon MUST be sent. If they were to die the repercussions for NASA and Space exploration would be devastating.
Just sent $10 via PayPal... Hope things improve for you and your family.

20 dollars sent. I love your content, and i myself am a big spaccex fan
Totally agree on the Space X ferry option. Send Starliner home unmanned. They can do that. Don't let pride override safety.
Totally. Thank you. 🙏
No problem ❤
Thanks!
Good luck, looking forward to seeing you back in the Shetlands!
Not that simple…dragon requires several months of preparation, they don’t have a spare dragon capable of docking with the ISS at the moment, the space suits aren’t compatible, and truthfully the helium leak on star liner is well within normal range and the ring containing the thrusters is jettisoned before reentry anyways
NASA knew there was a problem with the shuttles tiles and still let the crew return in it.....that went well!!!
Love the channel
If only Orion could be repurposed for LEO missions I think that would be a better solution.
When it was part of Constellation this was one of the proposed plans. But seen as the OIG says an Orion plus ESM costs $1.3B per launch, not counting the SLS needed to launch it, I don't think >$185M per seat is something anyone would stomach for very long.
Orion had a problem with the heat shield, if it was manned the crew would have burned up
I wish you well, and that you find financial success in this channel
Thank you! I couldn't agree more! We just can't risk human lives like this, especially knowing better since Apollo1, the Challenger, and The Columbia. Also, wishing you all the best on the family situation, AND I'm happy to contribute for this, so no worries. In the next two days, I'll be able to send something on Paypal. All good wishes.

Then why mention it? 😭 lol
5:50 Boeing you must be joking with that tea kettle handle there!
Jordan you're a world-class researcher and gutsy!!!
I will say this again, to swap to the Crew Dragon, several things have to happen:
1) SpaceX will have to make two IVA suits for Butch and Suni since their Boeing suits won’t connect to the Crew Dragon umbilical.
2) Butch and Suni are using consumables, food, water, oxygen et al that wasn’t planned for and will have to be replaced.
3) Starliner will have to be jettisoned prior to the Crew Dragon showing up to make room and before the helium runs out supplying the boosters
4) Three extra days will have to be planned once the Crew Dragon shows up so it is the right orbit when undocking for descending.
I’m going to assume that NASA has the measurements for both those astronauts so SpaceX can quickly build those suits
Figure 25 days to prepare the suits, cargo etc plus three days and time for a proper launch configuration.
It is a minimum of 28 days to bring those two home.
Now that this issue has been resolved, remember that the two spacecraft are still so dissimilar that if this happens again, we would have to go back through the same exercise
I understand NASA wanting to have two contractors but just like with Apollo 13, the L.E.M. and command module had different air scrubbers (one square the other cylindrical). These two configuration don’t play well together.
Or did no one think about this?
Why do they need a "Suit"?
Why not a "survival bag"?
Air and cooling for the body, plus the sound damping required for re-entry
They still have to be restrained in the flight chairs so upon touch they aren’t injured
An adapter for the plug can be built way way faster than a whole suit.
@@rogerstarkey5390 any time a launch, reentry, or docking procedure is done, astronauts need to be in a suit in the event of a pressurization failure. The reason we do that is because it happened. In the early days of the space race, 3 soviet cosmonauts were exposed to teh vacuum of space during an undocking procedure because of some kind of vehicle failure. The vehicle survived reentry perfectly fine, but the people inside did not. So now everyone is required to wear a suit that can be exposed to vacuum. And as macabre as it is, there is some evidence that the astronauts on the space shuttle that broke up on reentry were conscious until it hit the ground, thanks to their suits.
All fine and good. Although yours points are taken, To make adapters for the Boeing suits is doable with in days. The other factors are just logistics which NASA already has contingency plans for. I am sure Space X is capable of delivering what is required. This is purely a political face saving problem.
Thanks! Hope things work out!
I would love to see SpaceX sending a rescue ship 👏💪
Don't let astronauts into capsule. Jetson the capsule and send spacex to bring the astronauts back to earth.

@@estonianman er, no that's both stupid and racist and incorrect, all at the same time. Typical MAGA BS - using the DEI boogeyman as the scapegoat for completely unrelated failures of corporate elites.
Boeing's problem is that it ditched its traditional, rigorous engineering-oriented culture in favor of a management-first oligarchy that values stock price, executive compensation, and internal company politics above all else. Boeing got infected with this sociopathic Wall Street disease when it merged with then-flailing McDonnell-Douglas back in 1997, and it's been steadily going downhill ever since.
that thing looks way over sophisticated in the cockpit controls
Good report and analysis -- thanks!
The launch was not a surprise? Really? Holy revisionist history! You posted video after video asking if it would ever launch at all! Don't tell me you expected it to launch all along! But then, you're the same guy who wanted SLS rolled back the VAB and scrapped before it could ever launch, so it's not surprising.
Now you want crew Dragon to "rescue" Butch and Sunni after calling Starliner a "death trap."
There's a theme here...
Here are the facts:
The fact is with the leaks, Starliner has 70 hours of flight time. The trip to Earth takes 70, so there is helium to spare.
The fact is there is no, I repeat NO, I repeat ZERO talk of bringing them home any other way than on Starliner.
But at least you're consistent.

The lives of the astronauts will be risked and the astronauts know and accept this risk 🤔
there's being careless and then there's being stoopid.
