The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 2 Sep 2024Before Nasa announced that Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore would return from space on Elon Musk's SpaceX, there were rounds of heated meetings between Nasa and Boeing executives with the top executives yelling at each other over who's going to take the responsibility if there's a catastrophic failure. New York Post quoted a Nasa executive saying that Boeing was not happy as their executives were convinced that Starliner was in good enough condition to bring the astronauts home.
But Nasa disagreed. Suni and Butch went on an eight-day voyage but then encountered helium leaks on Boeing's Starliner about which Boeing had prior knowledge. Now they will remain in the International Space Station for another eight months as the SpaceX mission won't happen until February.
