- Опубликовано: 5 май 2024
- Two Nasa astronauts are due to head for the International Space Station aboard a new spacecraft.
Boeing’s Starliner will blast off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, in its first crewed test flight.
The mission has been delayed for several years because of setbacks in the spacecraft's development.
If it is successful, it will become the second private firm able to provide crew transport to and from the ISS, alongside Elon Musk's SpaceX.

These astronauts are not suicidal... just a friendly reminder for boeing
BOEING MAKES SPACECRAFTS?!?!? …Dear god…
And the beeb brushing off the fact that between 2011 until 2020 NASA was relying on old Soyuz rockets to get them to the ISS. Without a hitch.
@@paul7TM I remember the one where they had to eject in emergency due to system failure ... and yet everything worked beautifully... both the astronauts landed safely... it was a wild night!
@@thatsmykulture7266Yes you're right. They've all had incidents. The Russians have lost cosmonauts in accidents. I was joking 😊 but also thinking of how Mercury Gemini and Apollo were overall reliable. They had the one fatal accident on the ground in 1967. And a near miss with 13. Then the two shuttles of course. But here we are 60 years later and still testing these orbital craft. Not where I thought it would be when I was a young kid. It is still such a risky business. Cheers.
@@paul7TM oh i agree for sure... its one of the most riskiest jobs ever! Cheers to you too!
Hopefully they don’t lose any doors mid flight.
if it's like 99.999999 flights, it'll stay on. if you watch CNN it's 1 in 3 planes
Okay, DipShit. Thanks for the Minority Report. 🙄
I wouldn’t set foot on that thing
CGI will save the day, live or die!
In 60 years we won’t see much difference from the eagle etc.
I’m not buying, but that’s my opinion based on half a century of bizarreness. 🍋
Bit ominous that we had to be reassured on the safety
yeah better than the stock going to zero , when they have plans far bigger than planes , probably needed expenses
Astronaut: No, thanks,I chose to climb up by myself
Imagine all the assassinations of whistleblowers if a shuttle door falls off.
They gonna throw a company picnic and it’ll be the red wedding from game of thrones.
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 🤣🤣🤣for real!
Perfect time to launch humans into space for Boeing, since they haven't had any safety questions or scandals in ???????
About 2 weeks 😂
Imagine the door falling off...
You know it
Careful saying that or you'll end up being a suspicious death...
To show their appreciation, Boeing is offering free window seats for whistleblowers.
😳
That’s funny
Boeing?? These astronauts don't know what fear is 😂
Let’s hope the heat tiles stays on 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one associating the starliner with the dreamliner disaster.
Challenger disaster 2 - electric boogaloo
3 actually, Columbia was sadly the sequel.
NASA = Need Another Seven Astronauts
They can’t even keep their planes together. How are they planning to keep a spacecraft together?
Trusting Boeing’s build quality requires much more bravery than just going to space. Best wishes to the astronauts.
Imagine if it landed by mistake in my favourite village.
I would think space x with its reusable rockets would be a cheaper option
NASA works a lot with SpaceX & SpaceX launches rockets off basically every day :P (crewed flights less common) but it’s never wise to put all eggs in 1 basket. (I’d opt for United Launch Alliance over Boeing as the back-up though)
@@Jelly-Garcia ULA doesn't have a human capsule tho, but their rockets are pretty good. The crazy thing is, by boeing's 6th flight spacex will be on their 14th, plus all the resupply flights in-between to the ISS lol
Didn't we use to depend on the Russians to get to the ISS
NASA picked 3 contractors for supplies to the International space station. This mitigated risks and kept some competitive pressures. Boeing and SpaceX were selected as the preferred vendors for manned missions. Sierra Space was the 3rd place just because they had less mature technology and managed to keep a contract for uncrewed versions of their spacecraft for supply missions.
In hindsight this was a wise decision because Boeing was perceived as the lowest risk based on experience but wound up having the most trouble with their program. SpaceX performed better than expected. Sierra is on track as expected and would have been a better 2nd manned option instead of Boeing in hindsight but NASA couldn’t have known that at the time the decision was made years ago.
Count the bolts!
Boeing is always doing leading edge spacecraft technologies and Starliner is a good example of this!
Yeah right.
Be safe
What are the betting odds on failure atm?
Well done Dr Jen
Scrubbed due to faulty valve reading.
Nonsense about taking risks. Every flight to space is taking risks. Space shuttle had known problems with heat tiles, yet up they went again.
Don't mind the meme. Boeing is good at what they do. 😅 give them a break
❤
Use starlink technology ⚙ stargazer vision more better than starlink by greendoc greenwires
0:22 Sunita Williams* atleast take the name property
I have a question, why are they still using ancient rockets? why not use space aircrafts?
4:54. "SpaceX cant change whatever they like"...ummm spacex was paid 2.6B for 6 crewed flights. Boeing was paid 4.8B for 6 flights and went over budget. Having boeing as a competitor has zero impact on spacex who have already locked in an additional 8 crewed missions .
Hopefully Sierra can get a few billion for some manned flights in the future.
@@stupidburp most likely not. Nasa plans to decommission the ISS by 2030 ish
5:00 - Did she just say this is going to bring costs down because Boeing can undercut SpaceX? Please lady, tell me you know nothing about the current state of spacelaunch economics without telling me you know nothing about the current state of spacelaunch economics.
WITH a monopoly SpaceX is charging $55M/seat.
Without a monopoly Boeing is charging $90M/seat.
Boeing is throwing every rocket it uses to launch these things in the garbage after launch and this program went $1.4 Billion over budget so we're tell me the chances of us seeing them cutting the costs by 50% anytime soon.
Godspeed, Capricorn One! 🤣
😂 😂😂
Science is your future.
Houston we have lost a door
🤭
No thanks, I’d rather be on a spacex mission 😭
Did they check the doors? I won’t fly Boeing
Oh my God!! Are the hatches installed???😂😂😂
If Boeing had a ride at a theme park there would be no queue.
Not even the bald kids.
why don't you send a bunch of space stuff to the moon so we can get that moon base started.
Boeing? Well can't see how that is not going to fail catastrophically.
All due respect to the science and astronaut community, but saying that “no astronauts will board a craft, unless “they” are absolutely confident the astronauts will make it back” is just jibber jabber. As any craft, let alone an experimental one, there are simply risks. Just saying 🤷🏻♂️… either way - GOOD LUCK!
I ain't goin' near dat Icebox!!😂😂
... I had one, but the bolts fell off ...
Money pit ..
Not reuseable😮...
Double the money of Space X....😂..
Make sure the doors are bolted on correctly!!
Hope all the bolts are in and tight
I wonder why they've chosen not to splash down rather than land on solid ground for Starliner? I've read that only the capsule is reusable, whereas the external module is expendable.
Cheaper to recertify components and systems when they haven’t been immersed in saltwater.
Let’s all Pray that the door doesn’t fall off in space!
I honestly don't know about this flight. I personally would not sign up for this flight if given the opportunity. I do not trust Boeing with my life at this moment in time ,that is a sad thing to say about an aviation company. God speed Starliner Crew One....
Lmao Boeing?! Good luck to them. 😂
I hope the door doesn't blow off mid flight lol
Dr.Jennifer is so cute.
I often wonder how stories like this seem to British people. America has been putting humans in space for more than 60 years and the UK can't even launch a simple satellite from its own soil. And yet the Brits look down their noses at us Americans. What gives?
They can’t even fly airplanes safely on earth
They can't even make planes correctly, maybe don't let them make rockets ?
Check the doors first , Boeing
I always think the preview is Nick Clegg
No one is talking about the toilet. I heard that the astronauts prepared to test it by eating a bowel of beans before boarding the space craft. Let's wish them luck.
This Spacecraft actually does not have a toilet, lol. You have to hold it to the station or go in your suit.
The SpaceX Dragon craft does have a toilet.
Maybe out of atmosphere flight is their thing ?
When the BBC, NASA are mentioned, I switch off!
I wouldn't get on a tricycle with a Boeing name on it!
The Boeing Scrubliner.
Hope Boeing doesn't mistake the old door for the new door...
makes you understand they made the planes to cover expenses within the aerospace projects and dont bother worrying about terrestrial when they have bigger plans in motion and tanking the stocks would be very bad when we have the post political corporate state on the horizon
Airbus will happily take their customers...
I hope they checked all doors.
The delay was caused by an “0verabundance of caution to make sure the door does not blow out.”
Chaina world top technology
Lets hope the emergency exit doesnt pop open mid flight huh
This girl has her corporate sellout speech on point. She is ready for a PR nightmare
Do the astronauts know its a boeing????
well, RIP Boeing ShareHoldets!
You have GOT to be joking!
watch out for flying loose doors falling down
As the saying goes, if it's Boeing, whistleblowers are dying.
Sell! Sell! Sell! (or short, if you're into that kind of thing)
Boeing quality control does not inspire confidence.
Wtaf has happened to BBC news RUclips channel?.. is there nothing worth reporting going on in the UK right now or am I already living in a parallel universe?
Curious American here :) JW, why do you not view it as newsworthy?
Is UK space programme active so you have your own launches to follow over there?
Is Boeing not used commonly for UK commercial flights / primarily an American company?
Just not interesting?
Since when did the BBC only report on what's happening in the UK?
@@edism you're missing my point.. there's almost nothing here.
@@Jelly-Garcia I've answered that question below if you're interested
The space shuttle was built by Boeing. So this is not the first. The Saturn V was also built by Boeing more-or-less…
Before the hostile takeover by McDonnell Douglas, yes.
Boy oh boy, are they also using cheap soap from hotels to detectair leaks on the fuselage. Those poor astronauts
RIP astronauts
Bet the door falls off
Brave flying Boeing 😅
Boeing quality is dwindling why try space travel. I'd never fly on a Boeing anymore
Check those hatch bolts guys, and make sure the software doesn't divert you into the ground 😳😱😱😱
They can't even keep the doors on
Boeing ???!!!?🫤🤔
Hey bbc what's happening with the london mayoral election?😂😂😂😂
Don't blow the whistle otherwise they'll be stuck up there.
Corporations rule America
Where'z da Pilot??!😂😂
Boeing??? Seriously?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....!
Boeing ??? OMG ! ! ! ! !
Hopefully the doors stay on. You couldn’t pay me enough.
The astronauts didn't kill themselves.
I just clicked on the video for the comments !
3am or 3pm
R.I.P in advance, it's Boeing ffs
Boeing?!
2:57 Dinosaur fan confirmed
Dey launch 737 Dreamliner by mistake?!! UH OH!!😂😂😂
