Astronauts stranded in space: Expert weighs in on potential consequences for Boeing’s reputation

- Two astronauts, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, are stranded at the International Space Station after arriving on Boeing’s new Starliner spacecraft in early June. They were meant to stay for about a week, but their return to Earth has been repeatedly delayed due to technical issues. NASA said it is exploring options, including using SpaceX’s Crew Dragon to bring them home in early 2025.
Professor David Barnhart, director of the University of Southern California’s Space Engineering Research Center, tells CNA’s Asia First what a prolonged stay could do to the astronauts’ wellbeing. He also shares his thoughts on the potential repercussions for Boeing’s reputation and its commercial spaceflight programme.

NASA just won the “Value-For-Money space tour of the year” award. Traveler only need to pay for 8-day trip and be awarded for 8-months stay in space. Room is included but foods and Oxygen may not be included, depending on availability onboard of space hotel.
Man has been prepped by PR so much he can talk till Sunday and still hasn't said shxt.
if its Boeing , I am not going
If its Boeing, you are not coming back. they only offer one way ticket
If it's Boeing, you are dying
@@freeskier64and if you survived, you ain't whistle blowing. Their assassins are waiting.
CNA wasting time doing this propaganda
Spin spin spin ...... Did Nasa plan for the astronauts to wear the same underwear for 6 months?
Smells like crap in there I bet.
@@2handsandwiches they could make an alien movie out of it
it must be a bad experience when the truth sets in , shame i Dont think we should go into their privacy concerns, they must have stuff to wipe or keep their genitals clean,.
@@elizeleroux6388 you deviate from the intent of the comment. It's about NASA. The astronauts can go without underwear, i don't care
@@elizeleroux6388 pilling up in a warm plastic bags,maybe they double up as pillows?
(Professor Barnhart: character in the original "Day The Earth Stood Still".) Sorry to break this to you "professor": NASA does NOT put astronaut safety first - especially when it knows there is a problem. Did you forget about frozen O-rings and foam-impacted shuttle wing damage??? I fully expected him to say: "The two astronauts are absolutely delighted to risk their lives - against even odds - riding that broken capsule back to earth". The time for NASA and Boeing to "really dive into" the problem was BEFORE humans were launched in that unfortunate vehicle. I think the professor is less a director, and more of a PR point spokesman: he sure knows how to spin!
More embarrassing American excuses while the two astronauts are dying up there.
This guy is a pretty good spin doctor
This is what happens when a cooperate is run by a bunch of lawyers & demagogues.
Same in the congre$$

Why didn't NASA ask the Chinese for help? 🤨
NASA can't because of the Wolf Amendment, a law passed by the United States Congress in 2011, that prohibits the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from using government funds to engage in direct, bilateral cooperation with the Chinese government.
ONLY Russia can help.
The Chinese design not compatible
That is why China is the only country not allowed to participate in the International Space Station and made their own space station.
They are forbidden to by the Wolf Amendment. Their own law! 😅
@@happymelon7129no actually the Chinese space station gate has the same design as iss to ensure it is compatible for future needs. The US banned the Chinese from ISS but China left a silver line for any possibility in the future.
DEI hiring policy
Elon musk Will pick them up on his way back from his 2025 visit to mars 😂
The potential danger is the 2 tourist astronauts were not trained to stay for a prolonged period in space
Nobody has any idea why all Boeing products are failing. The "smartest" engineers in the world agree It's a mystery... unexplainable
No face to ask Chinese to help.
Ha ha ha!

Boeing: We can silence them all 🥱
No, it is a plot of a banal comedy like Guilligan's Island -- on TV in the 60s and 70s - and a cartoon version even included a Guilligan trip to outer space.
Lord, please help these people return to earth safe and sound back to their families. Thank you my love, my Lord, my saviour, for hearing my prayers. Amen.
A simple solution for you. Just beg China for help
It’s NOT any movie but a Hollywood style BULLSHIT! Such so called “face saving” act is loosing much appeal! Clearly showed - can’t do things especially such space endeavors alone!
Sure China can help Boeing
Or Elon as he passes on the way to mars in 2025😂
China should publicly offer to help. 不要小家。 whether we can help due to compatibility reasons, or if they want our help, that’s another issue.
Options???? But they gonna wait in space for at least another 5 months?
even then , no guarantee wont cock up again.
What a place to be stranded can't call a cab or nothing!
All those wealthy people should help bring our brave astronauts back home
A three hour tour
maybe you not going to hear exactly what you need to hear, they will obviously try work out a plan, he could maybe not have said anything that would come back to him with guilt, so he did not explain the truth , but spoke in ways to protect the space missions
Spacex would just add 2 more seats. Dragon was designed for 8 people. So NASA is only utilization half the capsule.
Where do they even find idiots to ride this junk into space? Amazing.
Actornaughts
Yeah, what's another 5 months when you've already done 8 right?
The initial mission objectives to dispatch these two U.S. Astronauts into the space station have had been totally flawed (perhaps in introspection). Nonetheless, some Enormous wastages of resources would need to be deployed to rescue them ..if it is even possible, before one of their various life-support systems failed.
And those Americans still dare to laugh at Made in China stuff. China astronauts aren't stuck in space
Lucky it is not me...after I heard that a spider made someone on the ISS.
Stop saying that they are stuck. They just can't leave.
try challenge the Guinness Book of Records of human stay in space
What about food is their enough?
Its All a Good show
Sunita: come back after bibi is born😅😅😅😅😅
Boeing 777 Starliner.
❤❤❤Boeing’s reputations⁉️It is impeccable.. coupled with NASA’s wonderful bureaucracy.. What can possibly go wrong⁉️ You are dealing with real experts here.. failing which NASA and Boeing have the best spinners that the USD can buy.. These folks have contingencies that can keep these heroes in space from a few days to forever🌎💰so, wot⁉️we worry⁉️as long as NASA/Boeing get funded 💰💰💰🇺🇸💥🔥🔙🔜
Hope they sue for billion dollars
What a joke .
Sounds like they are toast.
Pay more to Boeing and more, and hope for the best
ok so you have a v 8 2 cilinder is working try to limp home LOL
Out of toothpaste?
Does the astronauts get overtime paid?😂
Boeing
Made in America crap
Made by DEI people
@@logicruleThat's why I've stopped buying North American and Western European products. Completely.
ET call home
Boe(L)ing GUTTERBALL
Come on Elon said he would be on mars by 2025
દાદા ભગવાનના અસીમ જય જયકાર હો
GOODBYE NASA
Call the Russians
😜😁
😜!
!
Time to call Moscow for a ride on Soyuz.
Why don't they jump into atmosphere like Master Chief.
Hahaha! Made in America! 😂😂😂
Politically is it suicidal for any American politician to ask China or Russia for help. Maybe when Kamala becomes president, it will be ok to ask India for help.
why india? they dont have the technology for space station.
@@nanyanguo1 Do you think they care? as long as it's cheap. If the rescue fails, they can blame the Indians.
@@franko1904 its not about cheap or not . India doesnt have the capabilities to build n send the vehicle to dock with iSS n transport the 2 astronauts back from the ISS.
@@nanyanguo1 The US politicians don't care if India has the capabilities. They now need to find a scapegoat. If you have traveled to India, you will know everything is yes'mam, yes'sir ... even if they cannot do it or if they don't know... take the money first ...
@@franko1904 why cant you understand.
How is india going to be scapegoated by uS when they dont have the technology to build the rescue vehicle to go up n dock with ISS in the lst place ?
So dont worry, no way uS will ask india to do the rescue job
Its nonsense to say uS dont care .Why? cos if you are not competent to do the job. high chance your vehicle when trying to dock with the ISS could accidentally knock or crash into the ISS ? This will be a disaster as there are 3 other astronauts working in the ISS besides the 2 mentioned Silly of you to think uS will risk losing the research materials n the lives of their working astronauts in this way just so they might scapegoat you? No way they will let you even go near the ISS when they jolly well know you are incompetent or lack absolute proficiency to do the job.
Boeing is America's national joke on earth and in space!😂😂😂
