Photos from the high altitude "WB57"- aka English Electric Canberra jet bomber , not bad for a plane that can trace its lineage way back to 1944 ww2 design- still giving service in 2024 - some 80 years later !. :)
We made them good in the UK back then!
@@stretchedits Once we were free of the drag of the EU, technology in the UK once again began flourishing. Unfortunately, as we have comrade Starmer in number-ten I expect increasingly regressive legislation to halt the advance; I am sure he will cancel the join technology projects with Japan. Not that the Con's were doing anything to help. As for the LibDems, they are too busy wondering where to buy the best avocado smoothies and unicorn dildos to be bothered with anything as tawdry as raising the status of the UK.

Outstanding
That moment when your ride arrives safely after ditching you 😩
But it's not safe if there were 2 people there
@@jojo-ep2pp Wrong you ! Of course it is hot and safe inside the capsule for the astronauts ! How do you think the astronauts in the crew Dragon capsules are coming home huh ? Starliner shows the world today is safe and ready for bringing astronauts to space ! NASA JP/L will find out what was going to be wrong with the thrusters ahd helium by arriving to the ISS ! So don't talk stupid on here !
the ride didnt ditch them, they ditched the ride.
@jojo-ep2pp didn't you listen to the post flight press conference? The astronauts would have landed safely. You people really need to educate yourselves.
@@TheFiscallySound "Safely" is ambiguous; sometimes it means with no undue risk, and at other times with no catastrophe. If a man drives home drunk but is not involved in any accident, what he did was still not safe.
This is more, "That moment when you refused to ride home with a drunk driver, but he made it home without incident.
Congratulations on a successful reentry and landing...
Better safe than sorry...
Great recovery
Tell that to the 2 still on the iss

@@meak13 They're probably having a blast LOL. Usually it takes a long time to get approved for the ISS
@@meak13 Calm down ! The entire ISS crew watched the return Starlines till it landed safely on earth again !

Don't you mean: Better Sorry Than Safe
Someone should be fired at NASA for putting lives at significant risk, and the ISS, too, using that piece of junk.
@@skypilotace no, I don't think he does.
"Woulda Coulda Shoulda"
Brent must be a paid troll from Boeing
Did the astronauts on the space station watch the landing?!? I’ll bet it was like watching your plane arrive without you on it. 😂
Given the uncertainty about safety I'm sure they were glad to be observers and not guinea pigs.
@@chrispoe8404 :
Ordinarily watching your plane arrive without you on it requires you to be at your destination before the plane you were supposed to be on! 🙂
Unless, of course, the arrival somehow makes news that then gets broadcast!
🙁
@@daleallen7634 fits this scenario perfectly then.
That live view of the reentry from the ISS is really cool! Never seen that before. Glad the capsule made it down safely after all.
its empty no crew in it..
@@kakarlachandra whose saying there is?
Amazes me they can capture the footage!
I saw the ISS this morning in Florida, glowing brighter than I've ever seen it.
But it's not safe if there were 2 people there
This is essentially Apollo on steroids except no manned Apollo mission ever returned without its crew.
Apollo never landed on "land"
Depp you !
How dare you compare Apollo missions that took people to the Moon and back over half a century ago to this modern Boeing's travesty that can't even take people to low Earth orbit without severe malfunctions
???
We all know what happens after extended Steroid use. Things go wrong!
Now Boeing can say "See it worked fine. Now give us Four Billion more, so we can repaint it and fly again!!!!"
It's absurd! It's our $.
The Commercial Crew contracts are fixed-price contracts, so Boeing has been paying for the Starliner cost overruns.
@@steveaustin2686 :that is what we are told, but the money will be 'found'
@@steveaustin2686just like the 737 Max!
@@JamesThompson-n8x Kind of, but no because Boeing has to deliver what’s in the contract.
NASA’s narrator here is superb. The agency maintains the gold standard for public comms during space activity.
That was the nicest "screw 'em....let 'em walk" narration ever.
Just to make you believe it’s true 😂😂😂
Well, I guess one gold standard is better than nothing
Yes, NASA is really capable of narrating their own failures.
@@davidkamen true. As well as unparalleled successes.
I wish people would quit saying the astronauts could have returned since Starliner landed. Every engineer knows that if you change initial conditions you change the result - often drastically. The added mass of two astronauts could have affected the reaction control thrusters, that were known to be faulty, resulting in a bad burn. And there were also helium leaks. Until the spacecraft is diagnosed and the flaw found - probably just some lazy contractor - the capsule was unsafe for passengers. Period.
That's not why it would have been a bad decision. It would have been a bad decision because of the risk. That it would land safely with the astronauts onboard was always the most likely outcome had they ridden it down; however, 'most likely' is not what we are looking for when there are humans on board. That it landed safely in hindsight is irrelevant.
Well said
why didn't the ceo of boeing prove its product by going to the iss alone and returning safely to earth in the starliner?
I bet they sent stuff back inside Starliner. They wouldn't send it back down empty.
Given Boeing's track record, this "success" was a surprize.
I love how everyone is an expert!
Hahaha.. right.. too many silly and stupids experts on here !!!
In your expert opinion.
Except you haha

i am an actual expert, i have a degree….sorry 😎
Hey, they got they're 1960s landing tech to work.
I was wondering what would happen to Jeannie now stuck in the bottle since Major Nelson wasn't on board
Amen ... we better than this crapp
Same technology as SpaceX uses… (as specified by NASA).
Parachutes don't need much fuel
** their **
I am glad Starliner is back home . Now lets check out what the problem was . ASAP , we want to know .
The problem is that it is made by Boeing.Boeing used to have a good name,not no more.
The issue was the thrusters, but only on the part that separated and burnt up in the atmosphere. So, we'll never know for sure.
NASA got it wrong. Boeing was right.
@@MrSlim1959 Did you see the spacecraft just land safely? This is NASAs error. They should have believed the designers that the craft was safe.
@@twotone3471 It worked. The capsule landed safely.
That's like watching the SS Minow arriving and the Skipper and Gilligan aren't aboard.
Starliner was designed to return empty. Your argument is "moot"
@@itjustlookslikethis weren't the Astronauts supposed to come back on it? That's why they're up there months after they were supposed to come back? And does it make sence that a Spacecraft was designed only for one way trips? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?
Just because it landed safely unmanned, doesn't mean it's safe for human flight.
It has gone a long to increasing NASA's confidence in the Starliner spacecraft. But we'll know more after NASA has finished its examination of the Starliner CM and its report on the Starliner SM.
I agree, it probably didn't have no oxygen in it for them to breath in the temp could have been really hot inside of it from the earth's atmosphere that it went through.
The first attempts of man to fly were never without danger! but good for the development of aviation in the universe
I dont believe you are correct with a oxygen tank the departure from the ISS would have been quite safe. Also dont forget it was designed for humans to be inside... They didnt let them go for legal reasons
Exactly.
B-57 one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built.
Well I'm glad it landed safely, but frankly, I'm glad it wasn't manned. Boeing's got a lot more work to do before this thing can be deemed acceptable for human flight.
Dump that pricey overbloated project.
Imagine what would have happened if those thrusters wouldn't have come back online. Boeing in their infinite wisdom didn't include an autoreturn program. They deleted it before takeoff. Do or die kind of mentality. Those astronauts would have no way to attempt a return and no chance to make the ISS.
Boeing needs to be broken into separate and distinct operations under a holding company. Any division not making money - dissolve it and start building buses, safe buses.
That is surprising. Still doesn't excuse Boeing's incompetence.
They can't make a plane that doesn't lose a door. Why trust them with space travel.
@@WiseGuy02 The Saturn V
1 door blew off of 1 plane out of the thousands of planes they have made for decades.
Other Spacecraft made through the past 60+ years have had problems.
Even the Soyuz which has been used for decades has had its problems.
The Space Shuttles also had problems.
This was Starliners 1st manned crew to ISS.
Not everything can go 100% perfect every time. The problem is a minor one that can be fixed.
Even Space X had problems landing the reusable rockets.
Barring the issues it had on this first manned flight, it's been reported by the crew Starliner flew very well. It will get fixed and NASA will get use out of it.
@@JohnM3665570 Of course. The whole thing is just the usual blown out of proportion MSM bullshit with millions of know nothing trolls being triggered for the sake of clicks. It's sickening.
A very expensive empty lifeboat.
White sands is a beautiful and enigmatic place. Love it
I'll give you the beautiful part, but what exactly is mysterious about White Sands? It's 4 billion tons of eroded gypsum crystal.
Although SpaceX’s accomplishments are nothing short of amazing, it is refreshing to hear matter of fact, professional commentary instead of the giggly dialog and screaming young women.
Congratulations! Haven't seen such entry and landing except " splashdowns!" But it never gets old, that you!I can remember thinking John Glenn going just around the earth and praying he would survive. Still Amazing to watch!
When your job says "we are going in a different direction! This is a Hell of a way to get fired! Lol
meanwhile the astronauts are like, "well.... crap, guess we should have taken the gamble....."
Astronauts, not so much. Boeing CEO, sure.
A lot of people seem to not realize that Butch and Sunni are not stranded and dying aboard the ISS. Going to space is an incredibly rare opportunity and they are in my opinion extremely lucky to be able to spend a whole 8 months there.
There will no doubt be quite an enquiry. It is brilliant that they have the faulty capsule to study.
Sadly they are still "taking the gamble" as they are not home yet and, unless they send a new Starliner up to get them, they will have to return in an unfamiliar craft which is in itself comparatively new I believe?
@SDD3204 Obviously, they don't need astronauts to land these capsules, so it doesn't matter if they are familiar or not.
They took a BIG Gamble when they agreed to ride the Boing* Shitliner.
Boing* is just coasting on their name these days.
Works as advertised, but remember this is people’s lives we are talking about, not online shopping packages. When you transport people you promise a level of quality and assurance that Boeing has - unfortunately - not delivered.
Well said.
Given enough time it's likely all space vehicles will encounter problems. Space X just lost a spacecraft but luckily it was only carrying satellites. Soyuz had a malfunction but luckily the crew jettisoned and survived. Boeing had problems but it wasn't a catastrophic failure so you'd have to argue that they've had the least problems.
Fortunately, there were no new suicides at Boeing. The other parties you mentioned to have a track record that includes successes; Boeing has one launch without returning the astronauts to earth. no amount of spin negates this: NASA gave a vote of no confidence.
@denvan3143 Are you saying Boeing murdered somebody? You better be careful because what you say on social media can come back to bite you. Boeing has enough money to sue you for what you say. Maybe you should take a break from social media and look after your mental health.
SpaceX ratio is 344/1
Boeing is 0/1
These are not the same
50yrs after we ripped around the surface of the moon on a 4wheeler 100000+ miles away ( alledgedly) you got a craft back from 250 miles away…Nice work…I think..😮
That w was the best dune buggy they could fit in the capsule at the time! I forgot that it was a 4x4 ! Cool, and those guys at least were giving time to golf 😊
Thank you for prioritizing the safety of the crew.
I'm surprised your damn parachutes worked! Nothing else has
Actually the only problems were with the RCS thrusters and the helium leaks related to those thrusters. And as you can see the return flight was nominal and on target.
Still RCS thruster issue and the leaks must be resolved before it should fly again.
They perfected their parachutes with all their falling door practice drops.
Losing doors, malware, losing in flight landing gear, BUT they nailed the parachute design😂@@tomstruble7380
@@robertw.ellerbysr.358 the chutes worked because they were not fabricated by Boeing.
I was hoping for a little more detailed dialog on the landing perhaps covering the landing envelope or acreage that NASA-Boeing intended to land the capsule as well as the amount of deviation they encountered: (i.e.: 1/4 mile off to the N or E of intended LZ).
Some much-needed good news for Boeing and the space program.
Boeing is fkd
@@TheFrozenOne-7 Nah. All in all it was a successful mission that had a few hiccups along the way. Boeing proved they could launch and recover the capsule safely.
After fucking up, so yeah.
@gregedwards1087 They got the crew to the space station and then successfully landed the capsule. They could have put the crew on board for the landing but decided to play it safe. Meanwhile, Space X lost their second stage and didn't make it to orbit. 🤷♂️
With no crew aboard Starliner there was less weight, they will still need to confirm it was safe.
Letter to Boeing: "Do I get a refund - cause I paid upfront for a roundtrip?" 😂
Well done. Glad to see Starliner safely back on earth.
I wonder if there was an onboard video-camera in the Starliner cockpit pointing out of one of the Starliner CM's windows?
They got it back, without it's crew. I fully expected for it to malfunction somehow. If I was the stranded crew, I would seriously thinking of a lawsuit against Boeing before they go completely broke. The moral of this story is : do not let accountants run an engineering company. If it's built by Boeing, I am not going!
I'll ride Boeing any day over something built by the French.
Definition of Hell:
Where the French are the Engineers, the Gemans are the cops, the English are the cooks, and the Americans are the lovers.
Their was a time I would seriously pick flights to ride on Boeing because the Eurotrash competition kept having issues with automated systems; now their automated systems are working and Boeing isn't!
@@andycole5957 With all their warts, I will still fly American made aircraft and eschew the French crap.
Everyone thought it's gonna burn up during reentry....but landed successfully
They still don't know how to fix the problem because the problem burnt up in reentry.
Lucky…..Damn Lucky.
One little positive piece of news for Boeing. Still like em but they have many obstacles to face.
Still 100% leaving the crew behind.
Too bad the cameraman doesn’t know what contrast is…
Self imposed obstacles
You like a company that prioritized cost cutting over safety which caused two 737 Max jets to crash with 346 fatalities? Also, doors popping off another 737 Max. What's there to like?
The views from airplanes used infrared cameras which only contrast for different temperature, not different lighting conditions.
@@dopecat_truecrime you’re too young to understand boy.
@@gilbertanderson3456 You'd think that if he were smart enough to turn on a computer and watch the video, that he'd be smart enough to know that temperature emits a completely different kind of energy than does light, and that infrared "contrast" doesn't really exist the same way that photographic video contrast does... Imagine that!
Congratulations Boeing and NASA. Hoping you all can learn a great deal and move forward.
Boeing shows little evidence of having learned anything from three 737 MAX disasters, two of them causing hundreds of deaths. Will they learn from this?
Yes. Use Space X going forward.
Fun fact. They had it land directly at a scrap yard 😅
Spoiler alert. Boeing opens it up and finds a partially eaten box of Popeyes stuffed under the seat and messed up an important control board.
@@Cika044 yes, Boeing 's parking lot !
This was a do or die situation for Boeing. They still have a lot to answer to and explain on using an anticipated Apollo design. Not a
Not another dime.
doesn't excuse Boeing's incompetence.
NASAs incompetence
Starliner, boldly going with no man going along.
Space X says to Boeing, Hold my beer.
NASA: well done. You've reset to the 1960s
We all agree that “Boing “ should refund all associated extra costs.
The Commercial Crew contracts are fixed-price contracts, so Boeing has been paying for the Starliner cost overruns for years.
I agree that some of us have trouble with basic spelling...Lol
We need to not criticize resistance to get-there-itis.
The fact that this recovery was successful should not make us confident that another instance with the same problems will have the same outcome.
Shuttle had launched with faulty O rings in freezing weather before the Challenger disaster. Get-there-itis still terminated the crew and almost ended manned space flight in the U.S..
Get-there-itis is a major killer of aviators, sailors, and travelers of all kinds. We need to learn how to resist it and realize that getting there tomorrow is infinitely better than not getting there at all.
Was this was a AI generated Starliner landing, meanwhile the real 1 burnt up and crashed on entry.
No, not everyone is an idiotic conspiracy theorist whenever something occurs that they aren't capable of understanding. You cut all your science classes in middle school, didn't you...
@@lancer525 All I understand is that they left 2 astronauts behind and don't have a clue on how to get them back to earth. US should suck up their pride and ask Russia or China to do it for them, since NASA is incompetent AF!
This video is much better coverage of the event than any of the so-called "news" services provided.
Landed safely with an open hatch. I love the stewardess like voice. I have a hankering to put my seat belt on. So glad everything worked out as planned.
They leave it open? Are they nuts?
@@TheBooban Someone had to manually push the button for departure.Remember no proper software?!
It was Hal
😳🙄🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@datathunderstormbrown
I have to agree…this is an Apollo all over again. Our nasa manned space program has been stuck in LEO a for much too long. I applaud any safe landing from space but I saw something similar in 1969
Welcome home Starliner.
Boeing suffered an unexpected and catastrophic event...their mission was a success! One small step for Boeing, and one amazing view for the ISS astronauts.
Boeing: "We'll get you there and more, but you're on your own to get home"
good to see it land without issue so the extreme caution was used but not needed
And since NASA did not have the advantage of seeing into the future how the return of Starliner would play out they had to err on the side of caution and return the capsule unmanned.
There was a three inch crack in the hull. The interior of the pod burned up during reentry so not really "without issue" lol.
@@John.McAfees.Dead.Mans.Switch If that were true, there wouldn't be a capsule at all anymore.
This was not a win for Boeing, let's not forget about the stranded astronauts left behind. 🙄
Can't put anything past you!
NASA has to be totally nuts to ever work with Boeing after this debacle.
@@dopecat_truecrime Reality check! More than 3800 subcontractors spread across 50 states and one particular powerful Congress senator will insure that NASA will continue to buy Boeing subpar aerospace products for years. Going into space is not that much about scientific progress, it's a lot more about providing paychecks to millions of US workers and ROI to thousands of shareholders.
They can always use the 'Emergency Escape pod'.
Lost in space
Magnificent. Way to go starliner!
The floating dumpster finally made it back to Earth
Boeing Starliner lands safely in New Mexico. Was supposed to land in Florida, but I guess that's close enough.
"Failure is not an option", excellent job NASA and thank God.
That was the old patriarchal NASA that made it happen. The DEI-BRIDGE NASA is: Whiteness is not an option.
Main thing is safety.
Thats to be applauded.
Praise to the phenomenal teams. Absolutely amazing
See, it worked !! Fill it up, check the oil and go back.
😅😅😆😆
Bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !....
🙂
From Brussels, with Love...
90 days late without the astronauts that's called a failure.
Engineers graduated from the University of Lego. NASA spokesman thinks it's 1973.
I read that as "unscrewed". Tighten up Boeing.
With all the technology we have and only get black and video.
It's infrared video as the capsule returned at night.
I saw the re-entry and heard two sonic booms at Akela Flats, New Mexico. About 110 miles south of White Sands.
This is great and all but...
What matters is what was going on inside such as did the cabin depressurize or not, and if it did(from lack of helium due to the helium leaks) then we could potentially have 2 dead astronauts.
The helium is for pressurizing the propellant tanks, not the inside of the spacecraft. The thrusters obviously worked, so the helium system must have worked.
There are currently seven people in space, all of them on the ISS and we are constantly at risk of potentially losing all of them. This wasn't a tourist trip to Honolulu. Space travel is the most dangerous thing humankind has ever done.
@@pi.actual No it's not
@@Doomsdaybandit Then what would you say is the most dangerous?
Those folks in the Oceangate Titan would like a word.
But they were liquefied and vaporised by the sudden implosion and compression of their airbubble
Now, was it a possibility that the crew could have returned as well?
Now can we move beyond all the drama and get to some really high-end space engineering efforts again?! It's astonishing that all those missions back in the 60s & 70s, even though they had their glitches and the tragedy of losing Grissom et al, never dealt with a stubborn arrogance and greed from Boeing. Make that company restructure to have engineers running it again.
Starliner is pretty impressive, too bad she wasn't fully functional for passengers. She did amazing!
Starliner successfully demonstrates Boeing's expertise in 'explosive part liberation' - at least it's consistent across their product lines…
😊😊😊
Phew that was tense. That’s an impressive thermal signature for quite some time after re entry until release of shields.
Congrats to the Boeing engineers. Boo to management.
Congratulations! Now let’s get back to work and make the BEST aerospace engineering in the WORLD! Quality NOT quantity! 👍
At that rate it will be ANOTHER 50 years before manned space travel actually happens. Risk is part of exploration - if you can't risk something, don't do it.
Nice! This a great step towards Boeing healing and recovery. Nice job to everyone on the team!
question now is, would they have survived reentry and landing..........
save it, budy
Fck Boeing. They don't care about human lives.
7:00 I see the two initial parachutes, but then I don't see them get jettisoned. Then suddenly the three parachutes are deployed. What happened to the first two?
Go to 7:11 and watch at 25% speed for a couple seconds
I am surprised it returned in one piece…..did anyone count the doors?
Boeing must've had someone put the door bolts on this time...
Now lets dry it off and put it in a museum.. what a phenomenal waste of money!
Why dry it off? Was it raining in the desert?
@@MJacksonXenos Android.. was meant to say "dry it out" and put it in a museum.. hope you can figure out the comment now.
Acting like it's a BFD & yet they abandon 2 Navy astronauts What a waste of our tax $$$$$
if it's boeing I aint going
Now it's time for Boeing to learn from this experience.
I know that the risk was too high to take a chance but do we know if the crew would have been fine if they had been inside?
Most likely yes. The problem was always with the RCS thrusters and helium leaks and had nothing to do with the life support systems in the capsule.
Was it loaded as it would have been if the 2 astronauts had returned on it to plan, or was it returned underweight?
In the age of high-definition colour cameras, you'd think that NASA would use them and stop giving us low-resolution black & white footage.
It's in the middle of the night - what did you expect - it's all IR footage.
@tomstruble7380 you simply cannot teach common sense.
How’d you like to be the two civilian astronauts watching this and knowing you’ll be stranded on the space station for another three to four months and it was suppose to be only a three day mission! 😕
It was supposed to be at least an 8 day test flight which they knew could go longer and it has. Astronauts are trained for this kind of stuff and are probably even glad to have the extra time on the ISS.
Remember when we used to make fun of the Soviets for landing their capsules in the deserts of Kazakhstan? Didn't actually see this one make contact with the ground, did we? Hmmm....
Truly remarkable!
Amazing what 1960's technology can accomplish. A (slightly bigger) Apollo capsule turns to have been the right answer all along.
Did the starliner got damaged inside? Could the astronauts survived if they were there?
Just a concern. What are the astronauts eating?😊
Each other😂
One question: Why not a soft water landing like the previous Apollo missions
Good touchdown for Starliner but not so good for NASA.......
Not good for NASA? They simply could not trust this vehicle to bring back the crew safely. If this vehicle had performed the way it should have, it would have returned to earth after it's mission was over, not months later with a question mark still over it's head.
So, you blamed Boeing's fault to NASA. Wtf with your mind. Boeing screwed it up. Luckily, they can recover their ship but that shit need to be fixed carefully before doing anything.
I worked on the Starliner. And I can tell you that the some people working on that should’ve never been working on it. They had a person who is only profession was a heavy equipment operator, and he was put in charge of assembly and integration
Gotta call 'BS' on that statement
Waste of time and money.
A Boeing was surprised to find no astronauts but twelve illegal aliens on board.
The questionable part got burnt up on re entry. so what did Boeing Learn ... ?
Exactly nothing.
OMG, did it really?
The NASA should called Putin for help to bring them home 🏠 right now .
Saw this in Arizona while out riding my bike, thought I was seeing some type of space lazer beam :-) Neat to know what it actualy was that I saw in the sky.
Gracias por dejarnos ver y escuchar las imágenes y sonidos originales sin interrumpir las conversaciones.
Without the astronauts, what a shit show
