Boeing Starliner Software New Big Trouble: Can't Return Without Crew...

 
  • The longer the Boeing Star liner stays in space, the less likely it is to RETURN. 
  • This is understandable for a vehicle that is inherently riddled with potential problems like the Star liner. In addition to helium leaks and thruster failures, 
  • Some sources said that NASA is planning to significantly slip Crew 9 from August 18 to September 24 due to the ongoing issues on the stranded Star liner. Boeing Starliner Software New Big Trouble: Can't Return Without Crew... 
Boeing's Stranded Starliner Has Failed So Spectacularly That It Looks Like  It'll Push Back SpaceX's Next Astronaut Launch
As of August 6, the Boeing Star liner has been in space for over two months. Meanwhile, NASA management has still been in deep discussion about whether to call for an alternative craft, SpaceX Dragon to rescue the crew or let the misfiring Star liner capsule do it as usual. 

Boeing's spacecraft showed a lack of reliability before launch, as a small helium leak was detected in the spacecraft’s service module. 
Helium is used in spacecraft thruster systems to allow the thrusters to fire and is not combustible or toxic.
