NASA to decide Saturday whether astronauts will ride Boeing’s Starliner home — or use SpaceX’s Dragon instead (techcrunch.com)

Alt headline: NASA to decide if they will let DEI kill two astronauts so Boeing can attempt to "certify" their death trap or if they will take the smart choice.

If I were the captain (OFC its the guy) I would just laugh and say they can autopilot the women down if she wants to get on that death trap. Otherwise ill just hang out here until SpaceX shows up.

>NASA officials will announce their final decision on Saturday as to whether two NASA astronauts — Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams — will return to Earth on Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft or hitch a ride home with SpaceX instead — a decision that could have a huge impact across the rapidly evolving space industry. Here’s the backstory. Boeing launched its first crewed Starliner mission on June 5 for what was supposed to be an eight-day sojourn on the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is meant to be the final, crucial hurdle before the capsule is certified to conduct regular astronaut transportation flights to and from the ISS.
