Revealed: How Boeing's faulty Starliner could crash into the ISS in worst case scenario

Boeing's faulty Starliner spacecraft will finally begin its journey home today after three months spent docked to the International Space Station (ISS).

But experts have raised concerns over a small chance that Starliner could malfunction again, and potentially send it careening into the ISS.

'There is an extremely small probability that if all of the thrusters fail, the Starliner could impact the ISS,' former US military Space System Commander Rudy Ridolfi told DailyMail.com.

'This will be like NASCAR for NASA, some watch just for the crash,' Ridolfi added.

Starliner's technical issues - including thruster failures - have lefts its crew stranded on the ISS for the last three months.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Well, they've been talking about how to de-orbit the ISS, could Boeing be going to steal Space X'x thunder and accomplish that...?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
