NASA Astronauts Say They Would Fly on Boeing’s Starliner Again

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were brought back to Earth in a SpaceX capsule after problems with Boeing’s Starliner delayed their return by about nine months.

“We’re going to rectify all issues that we encountered. We’re going to fix them. We’re going to make it work. Boeing’s completely committed. NASA is completely committed. And with that, I’d get on in a heartbeat.” “Yeah, I would agree. The spacecraft is really capable. There were a couple of things that need to be fixed, like Butch mentioned, and folks are actively working on that. But it is a great spacecraft and it has a lot of capability that other spacecraft don’t have. And to see that thing successful and to be part of that program is an honor.” “Blame, that’s a term — I don’t like that term, but certainly there’s responsibility throughout all the programs. And certainly you can start with me. Responsibility with Boeing? Yes. Responsibility with NASA? Yes. All the way up and down the chain, we all are responsible. We all own this.”

This City’s Best Winter Show Is in Its Pitch-Dark Skies
Flagstaff mandates that shielding be placed on outdoor lighting so that it doesn’t project skyward. There are also limits on the lumens of light allowed per acre of land.

The result is a starry sky visible even from the heart of the city. Flagstaff’s Buffalo Park, just a couple miles from downtown, measures about a 4 on the Bortle scale, which quantifies the level of light pollution. (The scale goes from 1, the darkest skies possible, to 9, similar to the light-polluted night sky of, say, New York City. To see the Milky Way, the sky must be below a 5.)
