This is some weird mental gymnastics. They were supposed to be up there 30 days and it’s winding up to be over 280 days due to Boeings failures with starliner. The fact that SpaceX can fill those shoes with a comparatively tiny amount of notice is super embarrassing for Boeing. Secondly, NASA announced in December that SpaceX will return them in Boeing’s place in late March, which SpaceX is still on-time for. SpaceX is having to shuffle stuff around to accommodate this because they didn’t plan for having to pick up Boeing’s slack. Why don’t you go ask Boeing how long they’d take to get another unscheduled Starliner up there. It’d be literally years. |

If you would please edit out swipes from your HN posts as the guidelines request (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), we'd appreciate it.
Your comment would be fine without that bit. (Well, the "Why don't you go ask Boeing" is also a little swipey.)
