Video Transcript
Hello, friends!
5th June, 2024,
at 10:52 AM,
a Starliner spacecraft
was launched in America.
It was carrying two experienced
astronauts from NASA.
Commander Barry E. Wilmore
and Pilot Sunita Williams,
they were going on a small trip
to the International Space Station.
The spacecraft they
were travelling in,
Starliner is a bit special.
It was built by a
private company,
Boeing.
The same company
that makes aeroplanes
and recently, many of
those aeroplanes crashed.
This Starliner spacecraft
is still in the
developing stage.
And this particular mission
was the last step to test the
capabilities of the Boeing Starliner.
That's why this mission
was literally named
Boeing Crew Flight Test.
The next day, after 27 hours,
at 1:34 PM,
this spacecraft begins docking
at the International Space Station.
It was a successful docking.
And after some time,
both the astronauts happily
enter the Space Station.
Look at this video.
Pilot Sunita Williams was
so excited while entering.
This successful
docking meant that
Boeing became the world's
second private company
to make and fly a
human orbital spacecraft.
Before this, only
SpaceX had done this.
To date, only 3 countries
have been able to do this.
Russia, the USA, and China.
But the celebration
for this good news
could not last long.
This Starliner mission was
supposed to last only 8 days.
These astronauts had to
return to Earth after 8 days.
But today, even after 3 months,
both these astronauts
are stuck in space.
There are many problems
with this spacecraft
because of which it
cannot be used again.
According to NASA,
these astronauts will
remain there for 8 months.
How did this failure happen?
How much can we blame Boeing?
Let's understand this situation
in this video.
Before starting the video, it is
important to clear one thing here
that though both of these
astronauts are stuck in space
they are not in
any kind of danger.
