Comment A few questions that I see unanswered... (Score 2) 126

1. What was the Starliner crew's involvement in the decision making?
2. Did the Starliner crew have final decision making rights/power overall?
3. Has Boeing begun the software update to allow automated undocking?
4. If yes, was the software update successful?

Question #2 would be very olde skool NASA, IMO, but may not be current thinking. IDK. Aside from that, the answers about the software updates seem most critical.

Comment Re:Hubble Repair Plan (Score 2) 75

About the plan...

"Andrew Feustel, who performed three spacewalks to refurbish Hubble in 2009, says he found the mission proposal to be "quite a reasonable and admirable concept.""

STS-125
Feustel's first mission was STS-125, which was successfully launched to repair the Hubble Space Telescope on May 11, 2009. On this mission, Feustel was a mission specialist, and performed three spacewalks to help repair the telescope itself.[9] During the mission, Feustel accumulated a total EVA time of twenty hours and thirty eight minutes. He took with him a copy of "Cosmic Songs" (1878) by the Czech poet Jan Neruda and Emm Gryner's album Asianblue.[12]
