  • STP206 - Starliner and Misinformation - What's Going on?
    Aug 8 2024

    One of the big stories of this year has been the first crewed mission of the Boeing Starliner space craft which has now been at the ISS for 2 months, when it was only scheduled to be there for 8 days. We dig a little deeper and also have a conversation about misinformation.
