NASA will Missionen zum SpaceX-Vertrag für kommerzielle Besatzungen hinzufügen – „um die Agentur vor der Möglichkeit zu schützen, dass Boeings Raumschiff niemals für Missionen zur ISS zertifiziert wird“

SpaceX is the worst. Kessler Syndrome has been accelerated exponentially by Starlink. I miss when NASA was a science-based organization, which did corp and military missions to pay the bills. Now, it’s just beholden to mega-corps.
Preparing for the inevitable. I wouldn’t be surprised if Boeing is looking for a way out of the Starliner project. It’s just costing them giant piles of cash and it’s not going anywhere fast.
This is just a softly spoken version of „Starliner is never flying crew again“
Let’s be real here, that report on Starliner was pretty bleak and reflects pretty poorly on not only Boeing but as NASA. I’m not sure what is going on inside Boeing right now but I have to believe that NASA knows it isn’t looking good and making sure they secure an affordable contract now instead of scrambling in the future to find rides for its astronauts.
At the end of the day good for SpaceX, they did exactly what they set out to do and have a proven track record with it. I know people want to bash them because Elon but realistically a lot of smart people help them get to where they are and they all deserve credit.
„protecting the agency from the possibility that Boeing’s spacecraft is never certified for missions to the ISS“ is quoting Jeff Foust (the writer for this spacenews article), not NASA itself, which merely mentions shortened ISS mission durations and delays to Boeing’s Starliner not the possibility of never achieving crew certification.
„It is necessary to award additional PCMs to SpaceX given the recently shortened ISS mission durations; technical issues and schedule delays encountered by Boeing; the allocation of missions between Boeing and SpaceX; NASA’s projections for when an alternative CTS may become available; and the ongoing technical challenges of maintaining a reliable CTS capability for crewed flights to ISS.“

Looks like NASA has adopted the „if it’s Boeing, I’m not going“ mentality too.
