- Watch live as NASA announces its decision on how it will return two NASA astronauts from the International Space Station. A press conference, led by NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, is scheduled to begin no earlier than 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC).
The Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test launched on June 5 with the stated intention of lasting a little more than a week. However, thruster issues and helium leaks encountered during rendezvous and docking caused an extension of the mission as NASA and Boeing sought to better understand the anomalies before making a return trip.
Now, with the need to create space for the SpaceX Crew-9 mission on the ISS, NASA needs to make a decision on how to end the mission. Its goal was to create enough understanding around the Starliner's service module issues to feel comfortable bringing CFT Commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and CFT Pilot Sunita "Suni" Williams back on Starliner. However, the backup option on the table would be to launch SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft with only two out of the original four members of the Crew-9 mission and have Butch and Suni return with them in February 2025.
Spaceflight Now will have live coverage of the briefing, with pre- and post-news conference commentary and analysis from Spaceflight Now Reporter Will Robinson-Smith and Space Reporter for Ars Technica, Stephen Clark.

Nasa is committed to Boeing and no matter the risk, the cost or the embarrassment.
Fake creation bro not real
They showing TV other platform we thinking its real 😂😂
We can't go there finding real or not
This is like hospital administrators praising their doctors after almost killing a patient because of bad decisions and execution for managing to save the patients life in the end.
Except they had to get a doctor from a rival hospital that's paid half as much.
@@MrNote-lz7lh Actually paid them twice as much for the bad work, not half lol
The contrast is damning: SpaceX is about to undertake its 14th crewed mission since making history in 2020. They’re launching the world’s first private spacewalk in just days.
Meanwhile, Boeing, once seen as the obvious reliable option for commercial crew… is having their first astronauts return on SpaceX.
Edit: Boeing needs to sort this Starliner fiasco out, we SHOULD have two dissimilar crewed spacecraft, not one single company doing everything.
But...lets make the space suits interchangeable between the two, just in case. It seems incredibly stupid that we haven't standardized that.
@@jerrywellborn it was NASA’s decision in the first place.
Boeing can’t “sort this out”. The design is deeply flawed. Their goal was to make a ton of money off this, so they used an ancient design and made it impossible to take apart or repair. This has sealed the fate of starliner and possibly Boeing. They absolutely will not “fix” starliner for another billion dollars out of pocket. They may however find a way to get NASA to give them more money for failing so horribly. Boeing clearly has some degree of regulatory capture going on with nasa. Remains to be seen how much.
@@jerrywellborn that will require redesign of multiple vehicle side interfaces for Dragon and Starliner. NASA can’t do that kind of thing on commercial crew.
You can't sort it out. The whole of society has been going anti-white and anti-meritocracy for 50+ years. Then they lie about, with dire threats included, continually, because they are commies. They can't even say what the problem is. If they do, they are immediately fired with loss of all benefits. Then they hate on honest folks.
Good decision, NASA. Sadly, Boeing has not proven that it should be in the space commercial crew program. Two astronauts ought never to be guinea pigs for Boeing.
That so true the leadership failed Boeing employees and honestly two whistleblowers turn up dead I would say part ways till being can get its shit together
No one mentioned the Atlas 5 limitation, that there are only a few more rockets left & Starliner can only launch on Atlas 5. How are Boeing & NASA going to work this? That might end up limiting the # of Boeing commercial crew missions.
vulcan is replacing atlas
59:37 "Starliner is a robust vehicle... Starliner has performed exceptionally well overall..."
LOL this is just silly. The whole reason we're here is because Starliner is NOT robust and has NOT performed well. These kinds of statements don't help Boeing. They only damage the speaker's own credibility.
1:57:49 "Boeing has been a great partner for NASA over the years... as a matter of fact, the SLS rocket is overall managed by Boeing..."
Oof, that is not the confidence-inspiring statement Nelson intended.
Well said! Thx
whatever they decide they not risk their life. Did you ask astronauts what they thinking and how they like to back home?
Here is my take on what NASA said.
1. Starliner is able to safely return the crew.
1. We have developed contingency procedures between the two vehicles. and want to test them out
3. Suni was to be commander of Starliner 1. So, I expect that NASA was going to extend her all along. So, they used this as an excuse, too.
4. They overloaded their press conferences with all of the top NASA political and operational brass to try to make the public believe otherwise.
4. They deliberately refused any Boeing Corp and AJR reps from the press conference because of the strong opposition from the Boeing team. contractors teams. NASA wanted to silence the opposition.
5. NASA couldn't resist the opportunity to do human extra long duration studies on two astronauts.
6. We will never get the truth from NASA.
Huh??
NASA:
Never A Straight Answer
NASA, from the very beginning, has been a **political agency** first and a technical agency second. That’s what you get with US Government led organizations.
yes like this ! NASA SP287 : " WHAT MADE APOLLO A SUCCESS ??? "
" of course , the way we got this job done was with meeting , big meetings , little meeting hundreds of meetings !
" the thing we always tried to do in these meetings was to encourage every one no matter how (( shy )) to speak out !!! " hopefully ( but not always ) without being subjected to (( ridicule )) ??? WHY encourage every one NO MATTER HOW SHY TO SPEAK SOMETHING OUT !!! IS ULTIMATE SECRET TO " MADE APOLLO A SUCCESS ??? " ( NOT TECHNOLOGY , SCIENCE , TRAINING , ENGINEERING ? ) 3 HERO OF HUMANITY CAN GO TO THE MOON WITH " DON'T SHY TO SPEAK SOMETHING OUT ??? " SHY AND LOOK RIDICULE TO DO WHAT ?
Relieved
Agree ;-)
*The Painful Admission of Having to Resort to SpaceX for Help*
53:45
4:19 he said "screwed". He's right
We are so proud of our incompetence at NASA & our partners! Go NASA! Go Boeing! Please go away!
Boeing should resolve ALL issues ON THEIR DIME. They should DELIVER on what they have been paid in TAX PAYER FUNDS. Is there too much fat in bringing this to fruition? Follow SpaceX's management, assembly and launch in ONE AREA. U.S. Congress must bite the bullet and realize that less states will be involved but our space program will have better and FASTER communication to meet our space goals.
They are. That's what a fixed-price contract means. All the additional costs are on Boeing, and it is seriously hurting the company. As it should.
they are
I feel horrible, I had no idea this was happening. Now that I’m aware, I’ll be watching and supporting bringing home our brave safety.
They should have made this decision months ago. They could have been prepping to get them home in weeks rather than months.
Remember Boeing is part of the reason the first 3 astronauts died in Apollo 1 fire. I said for years I wouldn't want to be the first in a Boeing.
Is it too hard to just state that Boeing dropped the phucking ball? Call a spade a spade instead of this side stepping bullshit…
Credibility and merit no longer matter, just word salads and spin
They need to nix Starliner and fund Sierra's Space Dreamchaser to get it crew capable.
I firmly believe that with funding Dreamchaser will be ready to launch crewed missions before Starliner fixes the problems it continues to have.
I do think the likelihood of Starliner having issues upon re-entey is quite high...I give them about a 1/3 chance of having serious to catastrophic complications upon re-entry.
Serious being missing the landing target or say 1 of 3 parachutes not deployment...issues thst would not have lead to the loss of crew.
Catastrophic being a problem that would have resulted in loss of crew.
How are those privatized space flights working out @nasa?
Very well with SpaceX
Good thing we have Elon and SpaceX to come to NASA's rescue!
I mean, SpaceX is awesome. Elon has completely lost his mind and now exists to make vaguely racist and fascist comments on X where he continues to somehow fail to understand what the concept of “free speech” is. I used to be a huge fan of Elon but honestly at this point he’s endangering SpaceX and their missions by pushing Russian propaganda related to Biden/Harris. He should probably be cut loose from tesla and SpaceX and hired on as a contractor if he manages to find some non-racist free time.
What do you mean “NASA’s rescue”. They are both contractees of NASA. They are coming to Boeing’s rescue. By your logic NASA is coming to NASA’s rescue.
@@straunwagner6322: the Nasa of today is nothing compared to the Nasa that put Americans on the moon. They are basically a funding agency that provides oversite and project management. Nasa can't build anything, can't design anything and can't launch anything without it's commercial contractors, so technically Nasa can't even rescue itself.
humanities rescue for innovation and open source supporter
Ask us veterans of our military what It's like to miss out on holidays during wartime or even bootcamp. The astronauts will be fine.
You are so right! Thank you
All Im hearing is NASA isnt very concerned about human life. Got it.
Nelson seems to be a bit ....angry.. with some of the questions. I think he needs a coffee break.😂😂😂
Keep in mind Nelson flew was on the last shuttle mission before Challenger. They landed 10 days before Challenger.
This likely was on Bill Nelson mind when the decision was made.
At 81 years old Nelson needs to be retired.
This would never happen to me, guaranteed
I just unsubscribed, you know why? One of your moderators shut me down in the live chat. I was careful not to say anything disparaging, I did not comment constantly, only 4 to be exact and still I got shut down. Bye bye.
This is the result that 2 obvious just before docking occurred.
When All Else Fails…Who You Going To Call?……..SpaceX🚀
Nelson is 100% certain the starliner will fly again. He should volunteer to take that next ride.
That bucket should spend the next several flights as a cargo ship before it is allowed to carry a passenger again. Maybe Boink top management should join Nelson on the next first human manned flight.
NASA wants the entire world to believe that Apollo mission was a success which was couple of decades back but with latest technology and development it’s still unclear on how to get two people back from ISS. This clearly creates more doubt on Apollo mission which they claim as a success.
I wonder what we would have done if this back if this was back in the days of Apollo?
NASA wiould beg and bow to Russia (Soviet, back then) to clean up their mess and bring the astronouts back to US lmao 😅
@@rova3308I agree 👍
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip........
How will SpaceX deal with incompatible flight suits? Ship up compatable ones, or modify the seats to match their existing flight suits?
Man I feel bad for the crew.
Elon, A true African American to the rescue 🛟
Just because Elon was born in South Africa, doesn't mean that he is African America. Do your research.
@@clifflayne9073 wth no? Its literally that, an AFRICAN american
@@clifflayne9073
Actually, it does…try to keep up
@@clifflayne9073 Really? What does it mean?
Screw off
Job for Mr. E. : Cybertowtruck emblazoned with ad for Space Tows. Whose ya daddy Boeing? lmao
What if....
Imagine their disappointment when the capsule successfully returned to earth and post-flight assessment stated that the whole problems is still survivable 😂
“Wilmore's wife Deanna recently said her husband is content under the circumstances, knowing the Lord is in control.” We know God is Sovereign and in control of everything. Praise God! Thank you for praying before launch months ago in Florida, Butch Wilmer! You are glorifying God creator of Heaven and Earth. Thank God for Elon Musk and President Trump.
oh, Boeing... what happens with you?
safe or not the decision to return them safely is more important than being right. so let the craft fly autonomously as it was designed and it will be home safe the extra toll of manual menuverses obviously is a factor in malfunction. regardless of all that their lives are in their hands and the decision made is shared by many as the correct safe decision but remember even a dragon can hit the odds eventually of a failure. they are doing a very high-risk job and safety has to override everything. their families I know agree
Reckless
This flight is on Boeing’s money, no taxpayer money involved.
It is time to retire 81 year old Bill Nelson. Boeing should be canned from flying astronauts until they do multiple resupply missions using the starliner capsule to prove that it is ready and sorted out to carry astronauts.

NASA is an embarrassment. They could of got them down easily. All they needed to do was ask for is help!
I’m going to keep these Astronauts in my prayers because everyone knows that (this being an election year) the current administration is capable of doing anything to create a crisis scenario.
oh now blame the pilot.... bs
this is still a bad design by boeing
😂😂😂
Another fake creation from NASA
america swolling sympathy world wide
Moon landing 1969 😂😂😂
Rename the STARLINER the MINNOW. A one week tour turned into a 6 month plus tour.
