F*ck NASA and their "Starliner." Soyuz is the most reliable and most successful vehicle at this point. NASA simply does not want to use it because they will lose face.

You think they should use the launch vehicle of the country in a war where we’re literally arming the other side? They would 100% use Soyuz if Russia hadn’t changed the relationship by starting a war to take over a sovereign country.

  You're very confused, I wonder where you're getting your "facts" from. NASA hasn't stopped flying American astronauts on Soyuz. The most recent Soyuz launched March of this year with Tracy Caldwell Dyson, an American astronaut, on board. It comes back in September, with her. Another is scheduled to launch in September, with Americans in the primary and backup crews.

    Thanks for the insult. You could have decent instead of assuming I’m some nutcase. I thought we weren’t using Soyuz anymore. I didn’t remember hearing about it and given the geopolitical situation that didn’t surprise me. I’m not a major space buff who keeps up with all the launches and schedules. I thought I knew the current situation. I guess I was wrong. A simple note that I was incorrect would have easily sufficed. I’d have thanked you for the info.

      Throughout this thread you're trying to intuit knowledge by projecting your own biases, instead of simply looking things up. NASA still using Soyuz is something you easily could have known, you have access Wikipedia and it takes less than a minute to pull up the list of Soyuz missions, but instead you made up some story about NASA being motivated to use Starliner by a supposed inability to use Soyuz, something you incorrectly assumed, about a topic you aren't even familiar with. It's little better than your other theory that the government is scared of relying on SpaceX because they think Elon Musk is unstable. That's your bias which you are projecting onto the government. The reality is the government is already committed to and planning more missions which require the use of SpaceX hardware. They don't care that he talks shit on twitter, the services that SpaceX provide to the government are consistently world class. As for insults, I didn't call you a malicious idiot, I said that you were confused. You were confused. That wasn't an insult.
