"Two US astronauts who blasted into space for an eight-day mission in June may be stuck on the International Space Station until next year if their Boeing Starliner cannot be repaired for them to return home, Nasa has said. Nasa officials on Wednesday said astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who became the first crew to fly Boeing’s Starliner capsule, could return on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in February 2025 if Starliner is still deemed unsafe to return to Earth. The space agency has been discussing plans with SpaceX to leave two seats empty on an upcoming Crew Dragon launch, which itself was delayed by a month on Tuesday, as Nasa and Boeing work out how to bring the astronauts home." I'm tired of Elon Musk's political commentary but I'm glad that SpaceX and Tesla exist. There is a relevant quote by John Kenneth Galbraith about the relationship between business acumen and politics. https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/aug/07/spacex-delay-international-space-station-boeing-nasa

If we want unconventional things done we can't expect the people doing those things to use conventional thinking, or so it seems?

"tired of Elon Musk's political commentary" is an understatement. He's dangerous at this point.
