They brought back the Starliner months ago but believed it was too dangerous to have the crew return in the ship. Not sure why NASA couldn’t have retrieved them in the last 8 plus months.
Not exactly a huge to-do. These astronauts would were already on a shortlist for a more extended space mission, but the odds of them being picked for it were low. They kind of viewed it as a unique opportunity and being up there for an extended period was a plan B that they were aware of when they took off. This wasn't Apollo 13.
Moreover, the Starliner failure, as well as the recent Spacx failures are examples of the risks that privatization still has for early stage space exploration.
I very lightly skimmed that an article that said some things about a space ship being stuck up in space, talking bout it being too dangerous to bring back. Think it was off of a current news site. I thought I remembered that ship returning, but I just assumed I was misremembering. Can't think of any other ship being stuck up in space other than that one. Must have been an old article & I just didn't realize.
So, let me get this straight.... so far we've labeled military history webpages for Jackie Robinson, the Navajo Windtalkers, and an African American medal of honor winner as "DEI" when reveiwing the pentagon's websites....
The anti-DEI initiative I is just a dogwhistle for publicly accepted racism.

There was 7-10 years in between first through third generations of fighter jets. Then jets became a little higher cost project, and the tech was able to last a little longer. It was 15 years between the next generation, and 20 years between the last generation. Now it has been 25 years since the last generation.
So it's probably about time for 6th gen. So I say bravo on Trump deciding to build the next gen jet. But wow, Boeing is not doing so well to depend on them putting out a product. It could be inferior quality, behind schedule, and have major cost overruns. Their last big project, the Starliner didn't fare so well. They had to do the return trip without pilots to ensure their safety. Doesn't make you feel confident in projects like this.
I'm glad though that Musk didn't sidle up to the offer table. A first run project w/ Space X doing the F-47 would have been a bigger disaster. I'm hoping that other companies like Lockheed Martin get more heavily involved this time. Hopefully it exceeds China's J-36.

Okay @aTUfan, time for you to take some medicine. You always said you just wanted people to come in legally (“through the front door”) and that your problem was with illegal immigrants.
Now, the people who came in legally, (through the front door) are being booted out for little to no justification. Are you going to stand by your word or are you going to be a hypocrite?

U.S. to revoke legal status of more than a half-million migrants, urges them to self deport

they were escorted in by Biden without actually meeting the requirements.Okay @aTUfan, time for you to take some medicine. You always said you just wanted people to come in legally (“through the front door”) and that your problem was with illegal immigrants.
