The starliner is to return unmanned, according to this article. Can you imagine being on the ISS, and watching the ship you should have taken shred apart into burning rain as it attempts to pierce the veil of our atmosphere.

Could you imagine being one of the remaining astronauts watching it from the ISS if it had returned with astronauts on board?

On the flip side, can you imagine being stranded on the ISS, and watching the ship that could have taken you home gone down safely?

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. They’re holding up amazingly well, I don’t envy the astronauts right now.

well i mean, they've got the entire US government behind them in some capacity, so they're not likely to go anywhere lol.

I think if the chances of a catastrophic re-entry is more than 1% and it still makes it back ok, I would still be happy i stayed back. Who knows what an additional 300lbs might do?
