OK. Cool story. That will win you the election for sure... But it doesn't even make sense... Kamala Harris wants to make Elon's SpaceX the savior? How can you make yourself such a partisan hack? How does that happen? Anyways... A huge embarrassment for Boeing. From what has been made public thus far, Boeing believes it is safe. NASA doesn't, or at least 'cannot quantify the risk'. Here is the 4.2 billion dollar question. Boeing is not going to be willing to conduct another test flight on their own dime IMO. They've lost millions upon millions upon millions on Starliner. I don't think it makes any sense for them to spend more on it at this point. But assuming the capsule lands just fine autonomously... What happens? Is Starliner just abandoned or does Boeing get credit for successfully completing the mission? Imagine you are the guy at NASA: Are you willing to make the call to send them back on Starliner? I don't think anyone at NASA is willing to be that guy that made the call. Would you?

So was "Border czar", VP, etc. She's not responsible for anything. My version of the $4.2B question is how much money is the government going to recoup from Boeing?

SpaceX is now catching rockets It's impressive what Elon and his team have accomplished. Too bad that the weaponized government is trying to punish him. The FAA grounded this rocket launch for 2 months of politics. We need his rockets not only for our space program, but to beat the Chi-Comms in our effort to return to the moon.
