Boeing Starliner Stuck on Space Station as More Leaks Discovered

I'm fascinated about starliner strictly from a project management perspective. This is such a comprehensive failure from top to bottom between the delays, test failures, and hand waved requirements yet there still seems to be a contingent of boosters from both leadership and the customer. Usually I'm the guy who gets called in to rescue a spiraling project and if I was in aerospace, I dont even know where I would begin here....

As much as I think Boeing screwed up, the title is a clickbait:<p>&gt; NASA is giving Boeing another four days, extending Wilmore and Williams&#x27; mission onboard the ISS from June 14 to no earlier than June 18, though it&#x27;s unclear whether the leaks are to blame for the delay.<p>No, no one have conclusively say that Starliner is stuck on ISS because of helium leak

At what point do we just completely lose faith in a company? First they screwed over the public and now our astronauts.

What&#x27;s the strategy for getting the astronauts back? Do they jettison the Starliner and dock a different recovery vehicle? Are those on stand-by ready to go?

Every time i read one of those articles I get more and more respect for apollo team(s)<p>That organization would be running circles around current rocket companies

I&#x27;m puzzled why they have helium leaks all over? I mean gas valves aren&#x27;t really a new technology.

Well, at least helium isn&#x27;t explosive.<p>Because with the way Boeing does things, that would be an actual problem.

Agile development at its finest. Boeing can prioritize in next spring and ship a “day 1” patch that is 100+ GB to fix the issues.

&gt; Boeing has been through hell and back ?<p>Unfortunately, several hundred boeing product users didn&#x27;t get the opportunity to come back.<p>After the numerous launch scrubs, this one way ticket to the ISS was already a distinct possiblity. Maybe boeing won&#x27;t be able to bring these astronauts back either.<p>From a wider persoective, this really highlights why human space travel should be minimized. Outside of teenage boy spaceman fantasy and various government&#x27;s desire to start shooting people in space, there is very little reason.
