By then enough helium will leak away that it won't be able/safe to return with humans. They can say it just took too long and kinda shove it under the rug. Then if it burns up it's because of the delays.
- Tuna-Fish 2y agoThis is wrong. The helium leaks are currently not active, the leaks are downstream of the main valve, which is closed. Based on our current understanding of it's problems, Starliner should be able to wait on the station for the full 6 months it's certified for, none of the known issues in it limit endurance when docked to the station. Of course, there could issues that have not cropped up yet...
