Why is NASA, a publicly funded science organization, fixing the mistakes of a for profit corporation?

teamevil ,

Because for goddamn reason we socialize the losses and privatize the profits

leftzero ,

Because it’ll look bad for NASA if people are stranded in the ISS (plus, I assume they have to foot the bill for any resulting extra resupply missions).

Also, if I’m not mistaken, NASA authorised the launch, while knowing the craft was faulty and leaking and the company malignantly incompetent, so it’s partly their fault, too, or at least they were necessary accomplices.

I’m just glad they have a ready-to-deploy backup plan. SpaceX is nailing it. I just hope that the future will remember the terrific work that Gwynne Shotwell and many others did while “someone else” where busy tossing money away.

Sorry, no. Fuck SpaceX. They are helping destroy everything.

Well, this was actually fkning concerning. Ofk is not like other Company aren’t playing to launch thousand of satellites too. There should be a serious regulation and some heavy changes in the metal alloy used at very least. I’m sure that Trump already has a plan about it…

… ofk i’m fking kidding. Vote [everyone else] x president .

So we’re starting to look at aluminum debris in the upper atmosphere, when are we going to look at carbon fibre debris? Or rocket fuel in the upper atmosphere? We dont know what any of that shit does. Im going to hazard a guess that it does nothing good.

If you were to light ten thousand Starlink satellites on fire in a bonfire on the ground people would put you in jail. When it happens in the upper atmosphere its called progress.

Completely stopping the launch of new satellites will simply not happen. The only realistic response is to face the problem and improve the technology.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Just like they’re doing with the climate catastrophe.

Reasoned, sensible change, carried out quickly and paid for by the companies responsible.

MelodiousFunk ,

It practically regulates itself!

We need better politician.

leftzero ,

Well, it did work for the ozone hole.

It should work for the current climate catastrophe and the aluminium thing too, if about 50% of the electorate, 90% of its representatives, and 99% of the people in charge of big companies weren’t mentally handicapped imbeciles, too (if we count being a psychopath as a mental handicap).

That’s the problem with capitalism. They won’t improve the technology until we force them

pennomi ,

Ehhh needs more study. Aluminum oxides in the atmosphere actually provide a cooling effect. That being said, we don’t know much about the health implications yet.

Peppycito ,

Right on. The “cooling effect” will hopefully offset all the kerosene and methane they’re injecting into the upper atmosphere and oceans.

pennomi ,

They’re injecting water vapor and carbon dioxide, as well as soot (not kerosene or methane). I don’t mean to imply that it’s not an issue, but that more study is warranted (the article says the same thing).

Fuckfuckmyfuckingass ,
@Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world avatar

If you read the article the hazard is the Aluminum Oxide could deplete the Ozone layer. So a disruption to a different ecological process rather than the Greenhouse effect.

leftzero ,

It’s not about heat, it’s about aluminium oxides damaging the ozone layer.

TransplantedSconie ,

Lmao.

I’m sorry to laugh, but it’s just the absurdity of it all.

The downward spiral of Boeing is insane.

Pistcow ,

I got hired 2 days before all this shit! Had a pretty alright gig as a regional analyst before accepting. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

NegativeInf ,

At this point I’m expecting the big Boeing building down the street by NASA to collapse in on itself and the doors to be found 3 towns over.

sp3tr4l ,

It would be quite something if the Everett assembly building collapsed like a circus tent.

Largest building by volume in the world.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Everett_Factory

Lookorex ,

I literally just learned about that about an hour ago on a documentary show I’m watching.

Pistcow ,

The parking is worse than Disneyland and it takes 30 minutes to get from your car to desk.

thisorthatorwhatever ,

The irony of not being able to spiral downward, when spiraling downward.

Bell ,

This is how you know when to buy their stock

lemmeout ,

But don’t worry though, NASA says the astronauts are “not stranded”.

cygnus ,

Totally not stranded! The capsule that will bring them back just goes to another school.

homesweethomeMrL ,

You wouldn’t know that capsule. It’s . . . It’s Canadian.

mkwt ,

Yeah, I am seriously upset. NASA press office seems to be telling lies left and right, and they think they’re just pulling the old Washington spin cycle, but it’s obvious lies. And they’re easy out of line.

They issued a 248k “emergency” engineering study contract to SpaceX to support extra pax on the dragon. NASA press office claimed this award had absolutely nothing to do with Crew Test, but this was immediately contradicted by anonymous internal sources.

Heads need to roll at NASA PAO.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Y’know one of those “options” was not to send it after the leaks were discovered.

Then they were all like, “Pffft. It’s fiiine. Just go.”

Then they were up there all, “Okay, so, slight delay”

Then, “Okay well that’s borked, but don’t worry, it’s all being handled.”

Now it’s “Options, anyone? Yes, all of them.”

catloaf ,

NASA spokesperson Josh Finch told Ars on Thursday evening, “NASA is evaluating all options for the return of agency astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the International Space Station as safely as possible. No decisions have been made, and the agency will continue to provide updates on its planning.”

A standard statement like this doesn’t really warrant a news article.

@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

That is a notable change from “we’re just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon” that has been the message for a long time. Now it’s “we’re looking at all options”.

Two “not stranded” astronauts becoming increasingly stranded. More at 6
