Seeing as how it seems like it's part of the pre-install fluff, they might actually make that difficult.

After the Boeing Starliner spacecraft’s thruster, valve, and helium issues, it will return to Earth without the two astronauts onboard. Better late than never
Good job, Boeing. Episode too many to count

Several months more than expected, the astronauts will need a big recovery when they land...

I was kinda hoping that first they would send all of Boeing's upper management up to get them first, in a quick Boeing built custom craft designed for the job. But they should probably do it synchronously, to improve the odds of getting the astronauts back.

The last number I heard was 1 in 780 for a failure of the Starliner, so I guess they decided not to risk it (or that denominator got smaller). This gives them until February to figure out a solution so that the Boeing suits work with the SpaceX vehicle[^].

I suspect SpaceX will be making suits for them. NASA already has their size information as well as their backup suits (at least two flight suits are made for each astronaut in case one fails safety checks).

NASA should return the Starliner to Boeing
... under RMA, or not
... directly to the CEO suite
They should also send Boeing an invoice for all of the extra costs of supporting the astronauts and returning them via alternate methods.

as long as the company pays, they won't give a rat crap. They only care when they own pocket is in risk.

Starliner's costs have been coming out of Boeing's pockets for over three years now. Starliner was a fixed cost contract so once the NASA (government) money was spent Boeing had to pay for everything. Boeing's filings with the SEC indicate they've spent close to a billion dollars of their own money on Starliner.

I'm hoping Starliner burns up on reentry.
- Boeing only has 6 Atlas rockets set aside for future Starliner missions
- Boeing doesn't have any backup capsules.
A destroyed Starliner will effectively end Boeing's participation in the Commercial Crew program. A successful return would potentially put future astronauts at risk with this capsule.
This makes me wonder if Artemis, also built by Boeing, will be truly reusable. We already know the Artemis (SLS) heat shield barely survived reentry and NASA and Boeing are relooking at the heat shield design and materials.

Don't worry - they will stick to items from comctrl32 ver 5.82, so people don't go into too much shock.

MSVC Code Analysis is a static analysis tool that checks your code for errors, potential improvements, and adherence to coding best practices when using the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler. It's OK with non-critical bugs?
