Boeing Starliner fails key NASA mission as autonomous flight system malfunctions

on Friday that NASA plans to land Starliner "in the coming days" in New Mexico at the White Sands military facility.What went wrong with Starliner

Nicole Mann, NASA astronaut, Jim Bridenstine, NASA Administrator, Tory Bruno, President and CEO, United Launch Alliance,Jim Chilton, Boeing senior vice president, Space and Launch Division, speak to the media after the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, topped by a Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, had an incident after lifting off from Space Launch Complex pad 41 on December 20, 2019 in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

"What we were trying to do is make sure we could do this entire mission end-to-end completely automated and that didn't work," Bridenstine said. This represents a blow for NASA as well, likely further delaying the agency's return to being able to fly its astronauts to the space station. Delays have plagued the commercial crew program, as NASA intended the first launches to happen as early as 2017.

Boeing can’t wait for 2019 to end

Reaching space isn't easy.

BOEING🤨. WTF HAS HAPPENED TO YOU🤦‍♂️ Time to start doing some Corporate self analysis🤕

Lame. Just give this shit to Elon. He knows wussup.

Looking forward to Space Force, or is that Space Farce 🤣🤣🤣

Was it being guided by the same 737-Max MCAS? If Yes then the outcome was inevitable

Should we call it the Starliner Max ?

They have really dropped the ball.

thirdrowtesla lol 🤣😂

Space X wouldn’t have failed.

That's okay, some of their planes don't fly as they should either...

CRDRYCRDRY

SpaceX has delivered space capsules (Crew Dragon) to the Space Station many times while using automation and at half the cost of Boeing.

Oh boy.

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer They need to take a step back and slow down and work on core values

Sounds like a failure to me

Did it land on Of Course I Still Love You or drop into the ocean like a lead balloon NASA

Boeing kills!

SpaceX has a more reliable hardware elonmusk has made things easier for you guys! Just use their Falcon 9 and boosters next time, Falcon heavy was a success too!

It had an MCAS system too?

Boeing is having some bad times these days.

💀

TMTteammoney

Just like their 737 MAX

Boeing Starliner fails mission, can't reach space station after flying into wrong orbit'What it really comes down to is automation,' NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine says about today’s Starliner mishap. If there were astronauts on board, 'they’d be flying to the International Space Station right now.' Blame it on R2D2. Things became a bit bizarre here. There's a difference between Boeing & SpaceX - old guard CEO that OUTSOURCES US jobs vs new guard CEO that works and sleeps on the production line. Fk outsourcers.

This is why Boeing isn't really concerned over defective airplanes that crash Just don't call it the Star Liner 'Max' and everything should be ok. Check the software BEFORE launch, yeah?
