Sure they did. That had previous test flights, presumably with a crap-ton of sensors onboard. I don't have any real knowledge of this tho. If I was one of these astronauts, that return burn into atmosphere would scare the crap outta me.That was the point of my post.
Who knew spacesuits were craft-specific, ffs?
And eff Starliner. Cut it loose and burn that beyotch to a crisp and let the ashes drown. Speaking of which - do you know they never really validated the whole NEW thermal reentry package (what used to be called the "heat shield" but is WAAY different now)? A whole 'nuther reason NOT to bring the two astronauts home on it...
Know what this is?
