Starliner, the best decision

Starliner, the best decision



Souce


The Starliner, which was developed by the Boeing company and should have been the alternative to SpaceX's dragon ship, did its test with human transportation in June but while it was approaching the international space station, five of the thrusters, in total there were 28, failed. , which forced veteran astronauts Will Moore and Williams to assume manual control, luckily they were two very expert astronauts and thanks to that they managed to get the ship docked on the international space station.


The investigations carried out by the experts are that these propellants had overheated and that is why they had failed, to this we had to add other leaks in this case of helium, which is a gas that is used among other things to cool various systems, last Saturday The morning are these images that we are seeing, the damaged Starliner returned empty, without the astronauts who will have to return on a SpaceX ship in the month of February.


The capsule landed in the New Mexico desert after spending just over three months in space. According to the director of NASA's commercial crew program, the capsule achieved a perfect landing, but NASA later pointed out and admitted that it had failed another more propellant during the descent and furthermore that the capsule had also experienced a temporary blackout of the Starliner's guidance system.




The big question: this ship could have finally brought the two astronauts to earth, since it was a very risky question and when there are human lives it is better not to make any type of bets, they are not inanimate objects, they are human lives and it is better to take the necessary precautions to be sure.


What will be the future of the starliner is the question that is now worrying because analysts are suggesting that Boeing could abandon the entire project that has already meant a loss of more than a billion dollars for the company, because this ship has a lot of delays and a lot of cost overruns, it's a shame, it's a shame because I've been saying for a long time that it's good that there is competition, SpaceX has a dragon ship that is working very well but it would be good if it had competition because you already know that for It's very good that something works if it becomes a monopoly, it ends up "relaxing" competition and things end up relaxing and making the situation more expensive and complicated, the good thing is competition.
