NY Post is an awful (gross) source, this post should really be linked to the original Ars article

Yeesh. I didn't realize they had that much trouble up there, and I'm disheartened that more wasn't disclosed when the event happened. Losing rotation and translation control in that context would be utterly terrifying. These astronauts clearly have the right stuff.

Also, title should read "far more dire". Missing an adverb there.

The ars article the post links too is much more informative

I disagree with Ars view and think they were saved by Dragon. Starliner was a failure, and it was a political decision that kept them up there.

you really think governments and corporations would do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?

They came up in my morning news feeds. The Ars link didn't. The end.

Stop making HN more toxic than it already is.

Accuse them of which you are guilty? Hey everyone look at Mr troll posting duplicate stories from opposing political rags trying to stir up divisive arguments on a non-political site. And when called out claims to be the victim! This is right out of the playbook - recognize it when you see it and call it out to the other sincere users of the site. Don’t get dragged into the drama they are trying to create - use the tools of the site to flush it out.
