They’re lucky the damned door stayed on…

Imagine training for ages to be an astronaut. Only to get shoved into this tin can made by a company who’s name is now synonymous with shoddy workmanship. A program that’s had numerous development delays, launch delays and STILL launched with known issues like the helium leaks.

I’d take a Soyuz over this any day of the week.

So they’re currently not cleared to leave? I wonder what would happen in case of an emergency.

One of the in-flight tests was manually orienting the craft so that the solar panels on the rear were pointing towards the sun.

i.e. " mooning the sun"
