……….Uber? ………

 

[Protocall_Design]

They said SAFE return...

 

[Doug M.]

One could intuit that Boeing is the problem.

 

[ZGrand]

I always have to chuckle when I see her hair.

 

[CalifEd]

Maybe NASA needs to spend a few million on a zero gravity (ok, microgravity) washing machine.

 

[Rudi]

If need be, I'm sure the Russians would send a Soyuz to the rescue. For a few million.

NASA spent beaucoup bucks trying to develop an ink pen that would work in zero gravity.

The Russians used pencils.

 

[alwslate]

Very scary situation. I feel for them and would not want to be in their shoes. Hoping for a good outcome.

 

[SMSgt]

Freefall and a couple parachutes.

I suspect this may drive the last nail in Boeing's space adventures.

Me too.
Scary part is I get from the story is despite having no clue what's wrong the powers that be may wish to bring it home. What I understand of the crew's quals they may be the ones to succeed.

 

[DWalt]

It's not exactly clear to me what the situation is but I hope they make it back safely.

……….Uber? ………

Lyft might be more apt

But I bet they had trouble with the shavings floating around the cabin

 

[NYlakesider]

I hate to say it but I wonder how much truth we and the travelers are getting!

Whatever, it is not a very good situation!

 

[LVSteve]

Another fine Boeing product.

Unless they had one of those crank pencil sharpeners like we had on the wall in elementary school.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Mechanical pencil.

 

[soFlaNative]

Mechanical pencil.

Eraser dust
