Because NASA wants redundancy.

SpaceX does not have 100% recycling. Neither have they achieved their goal of a 24-hour turnaround, so far, the nearest they've got to that is 648 hours. So, 10 years of trying the best they can manage is 27 days. rofl

I like this because it's space and space is space if you aren't blinded by corporate loyalty.

Because rockets are cool

@@FrankBenlin Just like fish think about our environment.

No, atlas V is fine for crew, otherwise they wouldn't have certified it for that job. Making a rocket *just* for starliner and starliner alone would be a horrific financial decision. Why develop a completely new rocket if you have a perfectly good one thats already in operation?

The certification for another manned rated rocket would delay the program even further, the iss does have a proposed decommission date, would render starliner useless

Everyone gives information to those one who are working in this field from last 20 years 😅😅 man they have their own reason that why ula use atlas v for Boeing they are expert in this field and you are giving suggestions for these experts 😂😂

The only human certified American orbital rockets are Falcon 9, Atlas V and SLS, Falcon 9 is made by a competitor of boeing and although space x has launched some sort of competitors satellites (oneweb) I believe there is no way space x is going make this a really at least more economically than ULA can and SLS is expensive and is designed to go to the moon In the future I think ULA will certify its newest vehicle, the Vulcan but it's a long way till then

You sure are...

Pretty sure most astronaut/test pilots, have been granted the title of "hero"...unless you think they are undeserving of that honor?

Atlas 5 doesn't have a booster landing

I'd bet good money that I could guess your generation... Do you Muskrats have any original material of your own? This is about the 1000th time I have seen this lame attempt at humor, be reposted.

Scary enough getting on a plane built by Boeing. Can't imagine getting on a Boeing rocket. Probably held together with duct tape and bubblegum.

@@kickeramps bro im so concerned about those astronauts, that's why I'm wishing them safe travels.

Nah they’re pretty much equals, it’s just one’s had a bumpier road getting there but it has now! All that matter!

No, this particularly poor performance.

@@kickeramps " but space is hard unless you think you can make something better than starliner tell me about it" And what do you do? LOL! Troll on, good sir...troll on.

@@codymoe4986 I'm a tradesman. I do quality work and don't cut any corners to compromise safety, unlike Boeing. Boeing's only concern is their stock price. I don't claim to be a rocket scientist, so no, I don't have anything better. But Boeing is a crap company that only cares about their stock price and not safety of the people who depend on the vehicles they produce. It's not trolling if you're speaking the truth. I suggest you do a deep dive into the history of the Boeing company. Scary stuff. Also, haven't you even seen the news about Boeing in the last several years? I thought everyone knew about at least some of the safety problems they've had lately. Lol

Tory is a loser. Read a book sometime NOT written by CNN
