We’ve been told multiple times over the past several weeks by both NASA and Boeing that a decision about when and how stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will be attempting to return to Earth was “coming soon.” Well, “soon” has come and gone, and we apparently still don’t know much more than we did at the beginning of July. The latest announcement from NASA certainly sounds as if they are leaning heavily toward having Elon Musk bring them home on a Dragon Heavy rocket (assuming they can clear the crippled Starliner from the docking port) but now they’ve run into yet another problem. Butch and Suni are wearing Boeing suits that are only compatible with the Starliner. They aren’t compatible with the Dragon Heavy. Meanwhile, nobody can dock with the ISS unless they get the Starliner out of the way. (NY Post)
