The Starliner spacecraft has started to emit strange noises…

Audible sonar-like pinging coming across the speaker.

Today has been filled with these clickbait titles about the issue and this post is no different. As if these sounds are coming from aliens or unexplained sources in deep space...

It’s probably signaling “End of warranty” 😁

Probably some cryogenic pump or system cycling. Time to stir the LO2 tanks.

Boeing built it in the modern era. I'd be worried about anything Boeing has built recently.

Sorry if this post irritated you. It was posted with good intentions for discussion. Delete the thread then.

KABOOM!!! Houston we have a problem here.

If they slow the recording of the ping, they'll find that is says something like "Have you checked your car's warranty?"

@KC1THE.. it's a legitimate article, it wouldn't be the first time. The spacecraft has a lot of issues with its thrusters and control system. Who knows what's wrong with it and you really can't believe what's released in public.

What we can't deny is Boeing and NASA, despite what they say, about how safe it is, do not want to transport humans in the spacecraft for a return trip home. Kinda says it all.. the whole world knows it's a serious problem and very few people believe a word they say about it.

Let's hope SpaceX has a successful mission in early 2025 to rescue, the "stranded" astronauts.

It's a good topic for discussion, quite an embarrassment among many embarrassments for Boeing.
