Correction - The CrewDragon 9 Capsule that brought the 2 astron
correction. CrewDargon 9. The mission they came back on, has been up at the ISS since September. They sent that one up with only 2 (instead of 4) astronauts, because that would be their spots to come home. So really they could have...
250k dead, 900k dead/ injured.
No I don’t think it was about NATO. If it was he would have attckaed a NaTO country. In fact the Ukraine war caused NATO to expand by admitting Finland and Sweden. So if it was, it backfired.
Yes. I heard that Boeing wanted to bring them back on the Starliner capsule, but they were overruled by NASA. And the capsule came back unnamed with no issues.
The plan was made last summer to bring them back on SpaceX. But there were severe delays there as well before the mission was ready...
When decision was made to shut down the Space Shuttle program, NASA outsourced manned spaced light to the ISS to Boeing and SpaceX. SpaceX got their act together first and has been flying astronauts (Both American and international - including Russians) up to the ISS regularly since 2020. We did...

I deleted a ton of posts from many posters that were totally unrelated to Ukraine. Henry, the owner of the site, made it clear that he does not want politics discussed on his board after he eliminated the "Viewpoint's" forum several years ago. This thread on Ukraine was getting out of hand, so...
It’s war. U til both sides agree to a cease fire, there is no cease fire. And if one side holds back because they are close to a deal, they are just suckers, because I guarantee Putin is not holding back.
Three different programs here and 2 different companies.
So the Astronauts went up on Boeing’s long delayed StarLiner spacecraft for its first crewed test flight. They had issues with the spacecraft while it was docked at the space station. Eventually they decided to fly the StarLiner back to...
I don’t know if there are any good options. I just feel like Putin is not going to stop until he’s dead or overthrown. Neither likely anytime soon.
Even if some kind of deal is made, Putin will just regroup for a couple of years and then try again, maybe someplace else. Maybe that’s better...
