Boeing will try to fly its troubled Starliner capsule back to Earth next week
The two astronauts who launched on Starliner will stay behind on the International Space Station.
Flying on autopilot, the Starliner spacecraft is scheduled to depart the station at approximately 6:04 pm EDT (22:04 UTC) on September 6. The capsule will fire its engines to drop out of orbit and target a parachute-assisted landing in New Mexico at 12:03 am EDT (04:03 UTC) on September 7, NASA said in a statement Thursday.
Since there will be no one on it, I'm sort of hoping it crashes and burns so NASA is justified in their decision and Boeing gets in more shit.
I hope it doesn't just because of all the pollution
(I looked it up because I was vaguely wondering whether broadcasting this would be too embarrassing!)
I hear it's making noises Starliner making noises.
