Ahem,... Don't be trash-talking Boeing, it might be hazardous to your health.

STARLINER WAS OBSOLETE BEFORE IT EVEN LEFT THE FACTORY ! ! !

Starliner is the last gasp of "Old Space". It's failures are both systemic and endemic.

There are 4 crew dragons. So even if one was disabled or destroyed, they have 3 more and one more on the way.

WHY DO WE NEED STARLINER WHEN DRAGON HAS PROVED THAT IT IS BETTER AND CHEAPER ? ? ?

I worked at Boeing for 18 Years. When they moved their headquarters out of Seattle, everything fell apart.

Somebody is being paid off.

STARLINER IS GOING NOWHERE FAST ! ! !

I'm glad I'm not flying on that rocket given Boeing record lately!

It may still happen that Starship launches men into orbit before Starliner.

STARLINER IS A FLYING COFFIN DUMPSTER ! ! !😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

THERE'S NO EARTHLY WAY OF KNOWING WHICH WAY THIS STARLINER IS GOING ! ! !

we need a secrect word for boeing.. just to keep us safe lol

Thank you Jordan. Looking forward to Dream Chaser launch

Glad to see someone understanding the pitfalls of Starliner. Scrap it before someone gets hurt or worse.

Starliner, as with all government projects, is required for the votes, jobs, that it generates across the US. Getting a working space launch system out of the project is just a benefit.

90 mil? There's not even a free bar!

Sierra Space's craft Dreamchaser is very cool, and I hope it's successful. I'm rooting for them all to be successful. I especially like Dreamchaser on top of a Falcon-9. That seems like it's a good combination of performance, capability, and reusability.

At this point in time NASA doesnt need starliner, NASA needs the next vehicle that will keep us in space.

Flying on that thing should be a punishment for crime

THE INEVITABLE ONGOING STARLINER DEBACLE ! ! !

The purpose of Starliner is to create jobs at ULA and its subcontractors. Whether it carries astronauts to orbit is secondary.

I can't believe Boeing is being trusted to build a manned spacecraft.

LOL the first time AA has seen blue sky and sunshine in the UK thats funny

The government will never drop Boeing, even if there's a catastrophic faulure with starliner with all lives lost. In fact they'll just give them another contract.

STARLINER WAS OBSOLETE WHILE IT WAS STILL ON THE DRAWING BOARD ! ! !

I love that Dreamchaser and can’t wait for it to launch.

One thing the Sierra Dream Chaser cannot do that Boing does: provide 35,000 direct jobs + thousands more in indirect supply chain. This is the only metric that matters for the Congress to keep NASA alive.

If it's Boeing, I 'ain't going!

Angry be careful I believe another Whistleblower at Boeing has just died

PROs = not many CONs = cost, trust with Boeing, dragon works fine

No way I'd go into space inside of one of those things.

The door will probably fly off mid flight

Elon wanted and had Dragon designed to be capable of propulsive landing. NASA mandated the water landing for Dragon.

Starliner is no longer a space mission craft but a congressional jobs program and automatic teller machine for Boeing. NASA is has no say in it, unfortunately. It's utility expired in 2018/19 before it even flew.

One benefit I can point out is that Starliner doors and windows are opening much more easier than competition. Who knows, maybe this maybecome important sometime...

True. It’s like if Boeing whistleblowers were flying in Boeing airplanes; high death rate. 😜

StarLiner is basically the new Titanic Sub

Glad you've been enjoying the weather, AA. For anyone who doesn't live here, the UK weather so far this year has been the most miserable in memory. But finally, the last two days, something you could almost mistake for spring. Perhaps there's a metaphor for Boeing in there somewhere.

Starliner is a bit of a White Elephant 🐘

That's $35 mil more PER ASTRONAUT! Can we say "price gouging"??

THE WOEING IN BOEING STARLINER-MAX ! ! !

I had a dream last week where the Atlas booster failed much like the Challenger did on launch. I saw the entire craft falling into the ocean. I really hope that this was just a nightmare...

Careful with Boeing, you might end up in a box. Good to see the UK is treating you to some rare sunshine.

Boeing should change their name to Deathtrap.

Thank you for all your hard work posting these. I will support you financially when I am able, and I apologize for enjoying them for free in the meantime.

OMG Sunshine :) Enjoy it while it lasts mate. You are becoming a true Brit!

Love your Dalek voice at the end!!!

Absolutely no need for Starliner. What we need is a REUSEABLE vehicle like Dreamchaser.

We need it because no one wants to tell the guy who dedicated a major portion of his life that he is out of a job, thousands of times over.

Hope they will survive

Hey Angry, thanks for the update. It will be interesting to see how the Dreamchaser heat tiles will handle the hear and stay put, both troublesome issues for Orion and Starship.

AA. Another expert an insightful post. Thank you for your service and pointing out common sense.

Great video!

Breaking news, launch postponed for safety inspection

Nice vid AA 👍👍👍

They need it cause the people who control their budget told them they do. Man I don't envy those astronauts. Or the people that have to explain why they're going with a contractor that's charging more per seat on a vehicle with such a lousy track record, seriously behind schedule, and from a company with some serious track record issues as well

Complete waste of tax dollars

Thank for info

About Starliner:Did you notice the metal headrest? How that can be safe for one's head? Lots of metal, doesn't look too safe. Go Dreamchaser!!

Boeing is going to show you the door...if they can find it.

Thanks!

The bonus for the CEO of Boeing was $33 million for 2023. Ugh!

THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY TIMES YOU CAN KEEP FLOGGING A DEAD HORSE ! ! !

One is the primary, and the other is the backup. When assuming it becomes available, the cheaper ride IMHO should be the primary, and the expensive ride should become the backup if really needed. There might be some minimum launches in the original contract, which would force expensive launches within a time limit.

Crew rated dreamchaser 👌🏻

Is this the back engineered UAP technology you always talk about Jordan ? Great stuff 😉✌

But how do they even justify the almost double price?

TL:DW No need whatsoever, in any case or circumstance. The only cases Jordan made somewhat worth mentioned is 1) manual override controls, as if computers aren't way more precise and fast response than humans, but I have to mention that the enormous amount of software problems made me think the guys at Boing might have known several things we didn't; 2) ISS re-boosting. If this is as important as it sounds, wouldn't be better to make a non-manned module that does exactly that? waaaay cheaper and simpler, no need to support humans inside !

Man, Again. I don’t always agree with you. But you are right on the money with this one.

Solid rocket boosters should never be used on manned flights.

Blue Sky & Sunshine are rare commodities here in the UK ;) They should have gone with Dreamchaser *Shrug*

Another interesting question is that since Elon Musk open sourced the technology to land the first stage of these lift offs and Space X has been doing it for a decade why are these other idiot companies still throwing away perfectly good rocket motors?

Thanks.

Yep. I agree.

THE WOEING STARLINER ! ! !😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Boeing whistleblowers saving the day again. Hopefully that one didn’t get deleted like the poor guys that have blown the whistle about Boeing’s planes.

its not spacex's fault dragon doesnt land on land... It was designed to do this but nasa wanted water landings.

Love the new glasses!

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, GIVE UP ! ! !

NASA does not need Starliner. Starliner is the whole reason for the two-company approach to the manned space capsule program: With two, if one f*cks up, there is still another to pick up the slack. Now, NASA would do better with two functional manned launch systems, so, now that they have Crew Dragon, NASA should look into a third option (Sierra Space) to complete the two it originally wanted.

How do Aliens wash their windows they're always squiky clean 😂

As to the Dream Chaser, if things go really well, you won't see a human rated Dream Chaser for at least five years. By that time there will be other technologies in place too. I would reserve judgement until the cargo version launches maybe in June, July, August......

Not to mention the fact that Boeing's Starliner pricetag was already more than 60% more expensive than SpaceX's Crew Dragon. Not to mention the additional $287 million NASA handed over to Boeing before the Inspector General caught on and put a dead stop to _that_ grift. Let's run the numbers: If they send, say, 16 total astronauts up on Starliner (calling it three flights in total), each of those seats actually cost NASA $208 million, or 278% more than what SpaceX charges, or *ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN SPACEX'S 55 MILLION.*

THE WOEING IN BOEING ! ! !

Amen I think

I think you might be too hopeful on Dream Chaser's timeline. I love that thing, don't get me wrong. Even just the cargo version becoming operational will be a great thing. But they haven't even been able to test fly the cargo version yet and haven't even built the crew version.

NASA planned for two capsules just in case something went wrong with one. And it looks like NASA was quite right to do that. NASA doesn't get enough credit for that.

Please define "safe." WOW that's nuts about the trajectory.

The Starliner is all polotical. If I recall properly, the Crew Dragon was origanly designed to land on land using the draco engines. But NASA insested on water landingd.

STARLINER IS JINXED AND A LOST CAUSE ! ! !

So they’re actually trying to put people in it!?!?

Jordan, please be careful my friend. Calling out Starliner as garbage, a death trap, and grossly overpriced is not good for your life expectancy, given the recent "untimely deaths" of Boeing 787 whstleblowers. 😮

I asked this question back in 2020 on a spacex reddit sight, the answer was, the funding is needed , it employs so many, helps the university systems, and the idea of competition keeps prices low.... Baw haw haw...I thought that answer was suspicious..

90 m per seat against 55 m by SpaceX? Jesus NASA, what are you thinking? I will never finish to understand why so much unconditional love with Boeing. Great video Jordan enjoy the blue sky!

Still no UFO technology

NASA awarded Boeing almost 2 times the money to develop an ISS vehicle as Space X and NASA wants it to be a success!😊

It has. Too many things on it that could go wrong according to your description.. And don't forget they only have so many Atlas five's left. After that, it won't have a rocket to ride on.

It might be cheaper for the US to pay 90 mil to its own companies than 81 to Russia. Taxes, wages, local companies and materials

8:35 Maybe a USP will pick it up. 😮
