Will Boeing crash their spaceship on it's return trip?

It's going to flop mid flight, by the time it enters earths atmosphere months from now there will be only one astronaut left and just bones from the others.
 
I are skeptical...

AgitatedPancake says its fine

I mean there’s no denying the craft has been problematic, and I’m not the biggest fan of Boeing. But the sticking point I’ve been trying to iron out is how much speculation/lying/putting words in NASA’s mouth the media has been doing just like they do on any topic. They had solid rationale to extend the trip for ground and on-orbit testing (because the problematic hardware can’t be tested after return to earth as it is burned up), then the thing will most likely come home just fine when they’re ready.

The fact that the trip got extended is no big deal as far as the ISS is concerned. The first “two week” Spacex Dragon crewed test flight years back ended up getting extended out to multiple months too, just under different circumstances
 
If they’re lucky, they’ll get to stay up there through WWIII that’ll surely happen once Kamala gets elected and skip right over all that suffering and misery.
 
Elon needs to put crew capsol on the launch pad and then offer it up to retrieve them.

I can't stop thinking about how Space X had a terrific safety and launch record, and how that Boeing thing got stuck in space and then how that Space X rocket had an unprecedented problem. If I were into conspiracy stuff, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to think that gov and Boeing will be damned if they're gonna let Elon rescue anybody.

SpaceX is already flying again.
