    It feels like we’re just watching them slowly die up there. Maybe one of the billionaires is trying to discredit public space programs for good and their deaths are intended to be that final bell.

    Edit: Thanks for the down votes guys! I guess my concerns are unfounded.

      They’re astronauts, they’re loving this, they’ve said so in Interviews and it’s pretty obvious they’ve not just been told to say that. That’s not to mention that Starliner is a private spacecraft (just as much as Dragon is) and that’s the only thing being discredited here.

        I love a gym or a sauna but I’m not gonna love it after 20x my normal planned time has passed and I can’t leave.

        Also: we’ve got NO idea what they REALLY think or feel privately, of COURSE they’d be forced to pretend it’s what they want in a public interview (I mean, cmon.)
