Also docked to the space station is SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule that ferried four astronauts to the ISS in March, and a Russian Soyuz capsule that delivered three others in September. Stich acknowledged that at least one of those vehicles could provide an alternative ride home for Wilmore and Williams.
Remember in The Martian when China helps save the American astronaut from certain death, thus bringing the entire world closer together? That was cool.
Anyway, sure is a shame these astronauts will die up there.
Nobody’s going to die here. The ISS is capable of keeping people alive for a while and there’s no interruptions to cargo traffic. If they don’t fix starliner, they can marshall a crew dragon or soyuz. Both are very safe and reliable capsules that can be sent up somewhat quickly.
nah i think they’re fucked
