August 25, 20241 yr Dreamliner has been delayed unfortunately. But apparently they are trying to buy ULA.

The only thing that grates at me right now is "Stranded Boeing Starliner Astronauts to be Rescued..." like they're stuck on some isolated deep space rock somewhere. It isn't like they're in dire straits, food and O² supplies dwindling, or anything like that. Typical Journalistic hype. Edited August 26, 20241 yr by ViperPilot

There's one site that keeps posting every negative symptom of long term weightlessness they can find, and always relating to the female of the two astronauts.

September 1, 20241 yr Moderator So this is my understanding of the whole deal... please Update if incorrect: Starliner Returns 9/6/2024 (uncrewed). Soyuz MS-26 Launches to ISS 9/11/2024 with three aboard (Ovchinin, Wagner, Pettit). SpaceX Crew-9 Launches to ISS 9/24/2024* with two aboard (Hague, Gorbunov) * provided the FAA clears Falcon-9 to resume Flights. Soyuz MS-25 Returns 9/24/2024 with three aboard (Caldwell-Dyson, Kononenko, Chub). SpaceX Crew-9 Returns February/March 2025 with four aboard (Hague, Gorbunov, Wilmore, Williams).

I think that sounds right. Meanwhile, strange noises have been heard over Starliners speakers. 😄
September 2, 20241 yr Author Now a strange noise from Starliner's speaker. It did sound very rhythmic, not like something randomly banging around. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
September 2, 20241 yr Author NASA now says the noise is an audio system configuration and it is nothing more than feedback. That actually sounds like a reasonable explanation.
