Boeing Starliner Thruster Error, Astronauts In Danger! SpaceX To Rescue...
While SpaceX's Starship rocket stole the show with its spectacular landing on Flight 4, in space, there was a clown crying.
Boeing's foolish Starliner once again was in big trouble, in addition to a helium leak causing it to fail temporarily just a few hundred meters from the ISS.
Fortunately, our astronauts are finally safe.
So why do these problems occur?
How bad are those for Nasa’s astronauts?
Can Dragon save the crew?
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.

After doing a successful liftoff on June 5, Boeing Starliner went ahead into orbit with the goal of docking the ISS at 12:15 PM Eastern time on June 6. However, its journey was very rocky
In fact, Starliner was given a go to hold at 260 meters from the space station. The verified culprit is two reaction control system jets that failed during the approach to the ISS, leading to the failure of five of the reaction control system thrusters. These smaller thrusters are used as the spacecraft moves closer to the space station so it can make more finely tuned-changes to its trajectory. There are 28 total such thrusters located on the service module, or the lower portion of Starliner, which will not return to Earth.

A manual flight test has been put on hold while flight controllers look to restore those jets with a hot fire.
Immediately, they conducted four hot fire tests on Starliner's failed thrusters and heard three of the four firings. The test confirmed two of the four reaction control system jets work properly and can be brought back into service.
