    Remember when the US took like half a year to do basically the same thing?

    And with the shuttle the emergency plan was “don’t have an emergency.”

      Last year, two NASA astronauts who were supposed to stay a week on the International Space Station were stuck on board for nine months because of a propulsion fault in the Boeing Starliner craft they were testing. After a series of delays, they eventually returned to Earth in March in a SpaceX capsule.
