They aborted

They will try again tomorrow.

Stop the rocket! Abortion!

That sigh of disappointment after "Hold Hold Hold".
Lmao good luck, they may as well give the astronauts a firing squad. May save them dying in that piece of crap.

Unfortunately, their inability to construct a capsule that can make it all the way through launch sequencing will probably end in them disabling the problem checks and launching anyways, in which case God help the astronauts

I didn't even realize till this that Juneteenth is celebrating specifically that the last slaves in GALVESTON were told they were free. How few people did Galveston have at that point in the 1800s? I can't imagine there realistically being more than a few hundred total, not just slaves, everybody. What a shit fake and gay meme, legitimately worse than Kwanzaa, at least that's not federally supported.

Edit: Underestimated, judging by their supposed population growth there may have been 15k total people actually living there back then.

Wild that it's supposedly only increased by like 3 - 4x over the years.

Historians will wonder for generations why nigger worship did not lead to improved rocket technology

I've not been one to keep up with how ISS crew rotation is scheduled, etc. How crazy is it that they've basically delayed the Starliner's return by a month? How many docking points does the ISS even have?

If I were those 2 astronauts, I would refuse to come home via the Starliner. It's already a miracle that they arrived safely to the ISS.

I'm hearing they've possibly tried to push how long the Starliner can be up there to 90 days, despite previously saying it couldn't safely stay docked after 45. What the fuck?

A month later, the Starliner crew is still in space.

The only solution at this point is to send up a Crew Dragon to rescue them, but the U.S. gubbermint doesn't want to give Elon Musk another W. Looks like they may have no other choice.
