- nonethewiser 2y agoAnd what's the actual cost here? Some productivity loss in the ISS (2 less astronauts on the new rotation) and missed opportunity for Boeing to save some face by bringing them back? Boeing saving face is worth nothing. The productivity loss is something, but nothing in comparison to stranding (or worse) 2 astronauts. We should be re-framing this entire thing - what is the best case scenario? The stranded astronauts return safely as soon as possible. Do that however you can and be happy you don't actualize some far worse reality. That is the real path to Boeing saving some face.
