A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!
"Starliner flies on the most reliable lifter in the business, an Atlas V modified for human spaceflight safety by people with actual experience in the domain," the company stated.The last Atlas that carried a human into space flew on May 15, 1963-- 56 years ago. It's pretty safe to say that there is nobody working for then-Convair, now Boeing, who worked on building the man-rated Atlas boosters between 1959 and 1963.

The man-rated Atlas was the old "balloon" model. Subsequent non-man-rated vehicles used the Centauar for the second stage. Modified balloon versions with the classic 1.5 stages were used as late as 1987. The balloon Atlas III used a Russian RD-180 motor through 2005. The Atlas V uses the name and the second stage, but the first stage uses an aluminum iso-grid body, along with the Russian RD-180.
