It is safer to keep astronauts in space until February rather than risk using the Boeing capsle
- Nasa’s announcement Saturday that it won’t use a troubled Boeing capsule to return two stranded astronauts to Earth is a yet another setback for the struggling company, although the financial damage is likely to be less than the reputational harm.
And now Nasa has decided that it is safer to keep the astronauts in space until February rather than risk using the Boeing Starliner capsule that delivered them to the international space station. Boeing had insisted Starliner was safe based on recent tests of thrusters both in space and on the ground. The space capsule programme represents a tiny fraction of Boeing’s revenue, but carrying astronauts is a high-profile job — like Boeing’s work building Air Force One presidential jets.
Boeing has lost more than $25 billion since 2018 as its aircraft-manufacturing business cratered after those crashes. For a time the defense and space side of the company provided a partial cushion, posting strong profits and steady revenue through 2021.
