I still love everyone.

Ask everyone else if they love me, i'm the one with the unpopular opinions.

I still like you, Erric. Who else is going to eventually buy my entire collection? 😁

Gaslight much? This is the first mention of that individual in this thread...

Oh, nice, I see what you're trying to do, the reverse gaslight. Cool story, bro.

Boeings’s whistleblower silencing team must have derailed this thread too so locking it ☕

So Starliner is being brought back uncrewed and the crew will be returning in February 2025 at this point due to ongoing problems. Good to see them doing the smart and safe thing, putting the crew first, but what an incredibly long unplanned detour in the ISS.

Wilmore, apparently floating in Starliner, then put his microphone up to the speaker inside Starliner. Shortly thereafter, there was an audible pinging that was quite distinctive. "Alright Butch, that one came through," Mission control radioed up to Wilmore. "It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping."

Ok I was expecting a sort of quiet electrical beep, that’s very different. That spacecraft might need an exorcism or something as it’s starting to sound possessed.
