OUT OF THIS WORLD: NASA Knew About Helium Leaks in Boeing’s Starliner That Left Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams Stranded in Space Station
Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
The safety problems plaguing Boeing are now genuinely ‘out of this world’, as they include ‘multiple helium leaks’ on the Starliner rocket that has left astronauts stranded on the International Space Station.
And worse: it has now arisen that both NASA and Boeing managers knew about the problem, but OK’d the launch anyway, believing it ‘too small to pose a threat’.
New York Post reported:
“Officials found a helium leak on the troubled Starliner before its launch June 5, but NASA and Boeing leaders said the rocket was good to go because the issue was supposedly too small to pose a safety threat for the spacecraft, CBS News said.
