Huh. Score one for Boeing. GG guys.

Already been solved, SpaceX Crew-9 will be launched with 2 crew instead of four, to bring back the two Boeingnauts in February next year.Now the question is how to get the Starliner Crew off the Space Station.
I thought they'd figured that out already when they decided to bring the Starliner back uncrewed? They're going to shuffle around the crews on the next SpaceX launch to the ISS or something like that?Now the question is how to get the Starliner Crew off the Space Station.
They bumped the 2 women off of SpaceX Crew 9. They are going to come down on that. LinkNow the question is how to get the Starliner Crew off the Space Station.
I still am not going to blame actual astronauts for refusing to get on the thing.Mission success. Cool to watch tbqh
You'd think there would be an ISO standard or something.My guess is they will send the 2 extra SpaceX compatible suites up with Crew-9 or the Soyuz thats going up on 9/11.
Because of course the connections on Boeing and SpaceX suites are incompatible for some fucking reason.![]()
i don't think anyone will. these things have to be precise and if there is a significant margin of error i know i wouldn't want to be in that thing. imagine if it only succeeded because there wasn't 200 extra pounds in it. two meatsacks sat at the controls would tip that easy.I still am not going to blame actual astronauts for refusing to get on the thing.
Even if the connectors were compatible the suits probably have different requirements for air flow and power so you'd have to standardize the compressors and PSUsYou'd think there would be an ISO standard or something.

I guess not, because it's totally inconceivable a corporation would send out a deathtrap that astronauts refuse even to get into because they like being alive and feel it's safer to be in space for months than get on it, and that nobody else would have something compatible.
I mean private industry would never do that, isn't that what the lolberts tell us?
It's actually a nasa thing the worry is if you have one standard and something is found wrong with it then you ground the whole fleet, yes it's retarded but it's nasa.You'd think there would be an ISO standard or something.

You would be surprised how much of that bullshit is out there in the manufacturing world. If its not mandated, it will NOT be standardized. Because they want you to buy their shit.You'd think there would be an ISO standard or something.

It's not so unlikely that it didn't just happen.That's all a bit much just for an extremely unlikely situation of crew having to change vessel.
We used to have this when firefighters were a privately paid for service. Hydrants and hoses would be different between the different companies that did this so if your local firefighter's shit wasn't working you were basically fucked because even if you could pay the other company, they couldn't hook their hoses up to the hydrant outside your home.You would be surprised how much of that bullshit is out there in the manufacturing world.

Beats stranding a bunch of astronauts in space. I mean it's probably pretty safe on the ISS, but suppose this kind of shit happened when oxygen was failing. You don't always have a few months to just chill in orbit.It's actually a nasa thing the worry is if you have one standard and something is found wrong with it then you ground the whole fleet, yes it's retarded but it's nasa.
Coincidentally, I was reading about this the other day, and the Great Baltimore Fire was a big motivator for standardizing firefighting equipment.We used to have this when firefighters were a privately paid for service.

Now those things are standard. Also, fire trucks (at least certain types) generally also have their own water tanks if they have to report to somewhere the hydrant isn't working or there just isn't one (like reporting to a car fire on the highway).
That's exactly the one I was thinking about, but I'd forgotten which exact fire was the one responsible for deciding it was time to fix that shit. I remember the Great Chicago Fire was the reason for zoning and building codes being revised (much of the stuff that burned down was wooden and way too close together).Coincidentally, I was reading about this the other day, and the Great Baltimore Fire was a big motivator for standardizing firefighting equipment.
I'm not doubting they said that. But it sounds like cope after it was to late to fix in the contracts and someone asked them about it.It's actually a nasa thing the worry is if you have one standard and something is found wrong with it then you ground the whole fleet, yes it's retarded but it's nasa.
If you are running the risk of even just part of your fleet going down because of a design flaw in a fucking hose connector then you have bigger problemsIt's actually a nasa thing the worry is if you have one standard and something is found wrong with it then you ground the whole fleet, yes it's retarded but it's nasa.
