Hold onto your space helmets, folks! 🪐 Apparently, the #Starliner flight was a cosmic #rollercoaster ride—shocking no one except the writers who just discovered #gravity. 🎢 Perhaps next they'll uncover that water is wet. 🌊

This is a harrowing tale of all the things that went wrong when Boeing's Starliner was docking at the International Space Station. It is an amazing tale of fortitude in alarming circumstances and immense skil on the ground and in the vehicle itself.

Holy hell! The docking of with the ISS was WAY WORSE than we were let on until now! Looks like a near disaster - not on the Apollo 13 scale, but definitely not something any astronaut would want to face! Butch apparently had to take manual control of the stricken spacecraft. So, good to have you both back on Earth, Butch and Suni!!?

Turns out that many details about the #Starliner troubles before docking to the ISS last year 'revealed' in the much-cited article "Starliner’s flight to the space station was far wilder than most of us thought" - arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/ - had been discussed already at a press conference last June: x.com/KenKirtland17/status/190 - only how dangerous the situation for the astronauts actually was may not have been conveyed properly back then.

I'm constantly amazed by test pilots and how much they put on the line. They were a hair away from not getting home, and NASA being in front of Congress for years.

"Starliner’s flight to the space station was far wilder than most of us thought" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - Eric Berger interviewed Butch Wilmore about what it was like piloting #Boeing #Starliner, including during thruster malfunctions at station docking when it wouldn't go where he wanted it. He didn't know if a safe abort and de-orbit was possible either. They safely docked. The problem was due overheating tightly-packed thruster pods. arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/ #NASA #space #StarlinerCFT
