NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been stuck in space for months longer than expected, and will not return to Earth until at least March 2025 at the earliest, NASA indicated.
What does the privatization of space flight, and it’s subsequent technical failures resulting in a 2-week expedition turning into a 10-month expedition have to do with capitalism? Is that a serious question?
So a non-capitalist space program would have no technical issues ever? Sounds about as sound as most communist propaganda logic.
If you actually read the article, they are staying there to continue the science until replacement crew arrives. The capsule is ready and they are able to return any time. There wasn’t another technical failure.
I bet they would had the Obama administration not moved to privatize spaceflight -Did you miss the part I said about privatized space flight in an earlier comment?
How many commercial technical failures and logistical failures is adequate for you?
Maybe fewer or equal than there were with government run NASA? Starliner turned out to be a safe spacecraft that was recalled due to abundance of caution. Which leaders at NASA were far more comfortable doing, since it reflects badly on Boing instead of them (which is a good thing).
On the other hand, while NASA run the launches itself, how many astronauts died in disasters?
You are seriously going to pretend one issue is somehow a failure of privatized spaceflight? A nonfatal issue that caused two astronauts to chill on the space station for longer than expected, most of it voluntarily?
I’m new to lemmy world. I’m noticing every top comment is something negative about capitalism. Either the clueless reddit communists came over or it’s just Russian trolls. It could be a stubbed toe, “CAPITALISM FOR YA!!” I picked to post here because this is 8 out of 10 posts now. It’s pretty much equivalent to “THANKS OBAMA!”
I think capitalism is ruining earth, and is at the heart of most of the problems and challenges, AMA (jk, I don’t care). It doesn’t mean that I can suggest a good alternative, but observations are what they are.
Check where they’re from lemmy.ml is literally just a bunch of fucking tankies and russian/ccp apologist. They’re idiots who blame everything on capitalism and think communism has never been tried and that everything would be great under communism, so long as they were running the show. It’s pretty much just people with no life experience shouting off these things.
What does that have to do with capitalism?

Sounds like capitalism apologist logic to me.
How many commercial technical failures and logistic failures is adequate for you? They are in this position because NASA (A public space agency) determined that Starliner -(a private craft) wasn’t safe to use as a return vehicle
Why hasn’t NASA just sent a NASA vehicle to receive them?

Nuance isn’t allowed here on lemmy. You will hate capitalism or you will be silenced. You will hate privatization, or you will be ostracized.
I thought that was Reddits thing. Is that just an American thing in general?

Lemmy in a nutshell.

Yeah, I really hope at least most of them are trolls…
