      I’m guessing that was the rationale for sending it back unmanned?

        Pretty much, but I still say it shouldn’t have been launched in the first place.

          For sure. I think if I had to fly these days, I would feel vaguely uneasy if I ended up in a Boeing.

    During the livestream, have sth prepared to short boeing. If it burns up on reentry that will be bad, if it craps out during departure, that will be really bad.

        Even worse: It doesn’t unplug and now there’s a severe safety hazard attached to the space station

    Have they determined what the sound on thr speakers is? Death knell? Rectangular obelisk?

      Yeah… although without a crew them might be able to make different decisions on flight path or something that would not be possible otherwise.

      I have Zero knowledge on this specific subject though so I don’t know if it matters.

      Straight into downtown Los Angeles. Hopefully the Rock is standing by to help

    I read previously that the ISS was “full” and that the two astronauts that are stuck up there have been “bunking up”. If two more astronauts are coming up (instead of 4), then where do they all sleep?

    What is the emergency plan until dragon arrives if they need to evacuate?

      The other dragon that’s already there is used and the extra people are strapped to the floor. They don’t even need suits (while yes, it would be needed in a decompression event, they’re mostly there for cooling and communications).

      Dragon can bring six back in one craft, it just won’t be very comfortable for two of them. But they’ll be alive.

        I thought I read that somewhere. Thanks!
