  • 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.

      ​@@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.

      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.

    • @stupidburp
      @stupidburp Месяц назад +1

      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.
