The future of flying

They're still up there! It's now been over 45 days since the June 5 launch. Earlier they were saying 45 days was the longest they could stay due to fuel limitations, but now they are saying the ISS has enough supplies for them to stay.

Very embarrassing for Boeing!

Can the Boeing Starliner bring back its astronauts and its reputation?

The first crewed flight of the Boeing Starliner to the International Space Station was supposed to last just eight days.

If space is fake, then then can be "up there" as long as the narrative warrants it.
There's no way any of us can truly verify if they are up there or not anyway.

Imagine hiding people away to pretend they are stuck in space, just to make Boeing look bad.

Very hard to fake the Indian lady's hairdo in zero gravity, or to suspend them in cables as they are going through the tunnel.

That clip reminds me of the movie Event Horizon for some reason.

"I am a dog groomer and women can fly planes"

Dog grooming doesn’t sound like an easy job. In fact that’s something a young person would do to get some experience and leave as soon as they found something better.

Think about it, all of the difficult temperamental dogs that are difficult to wash and groom? They take their dog in to the dog groomer . If it was a dream dog that’s easy going you’d happily just wash the dog

There are a lot of dog lovers who like that job, especially middle aged childless women, and usually the dog owners are busy professionals in big cities.

My wife had a dream of opening a dog grooming business, with a retail front end. She loved dogs. Fortunately she never really tried. I think businesses like that all end up going broke.

^You need a good business plan to start, be sure that the local market supports a new place, and have a low cost structure (long hours, no employees) at least in the beginning, and be prepared to have a slow start and slow organic growth.

Also I would look at successful businesses who managed to pull it off in the other side of town or in another town, see what they are doing right. Ideally as well you would want to work at such a place for at least 6 months to see now it works and what the numbers are, and use that experience to perfect your business plan.

Come on guys. One joke and the thread goes from airplanes to dog groomers. Is this the Autism is King forums?

What can I say? I have a knack for bringing out the creative side of people.

To be fair, however, dog grooming and flying may have more in common than we realise.

After all... The Future is Female + Canine.

And we need them to look glorious.

It's just amazing that women have to always have a dumb f'n opinion on a lot of topics. Thank God for this comic, he can at least hide behind these being "jokes".

That should work out well!

After Boeing left two astronauts stranded in space for eight months, NASA finally was able to have SpaceX send a cspsule to rescue them.

However, after being in zero G for 8 months, one of the astronauts has had to be hospitalized. My guess is that his muscles have atrophied so bad he can barely function.

Just looked this up: the record for most consecutive days in space was Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov aboard the Mir space station, 437 days...1.2 years...crazy!

I wonder how old the Russian was. Also I wonder how diligent the Russian guys were in doing their exercises, and how diligent the current hospitalized astronaut was. They are supposed to do a vigorous workout routine, especially for long stays. I could imagine someone slacking off on the duration or intensity of their exercise sessions. The older you are, I imagine the less you can get away with losing fitness in long term zero G.
