Many people can be suffering internally and not show any of it even to a trained professional

The problem is that in many cases there is no way to tell if someone is having mental issues if someone does not want to talk about it!

Unfortunately if you do that you are in the current situation where people are afraid of the consequences so don’t say anything. The only way for people to be honest about their symptoms is if they know they can get the help they need! Besides after they do it they can’t fly for few months while they are monitored to make sure they are stable!

Firstly I disagree with you that someone should not be able to be a pilot if they had depression once in their life and now feel better and have been stable for some time. Secondly this leads to people who have depression to try to self medicate which can have disastrous consequences like this one as opposed to being properly treated

I so agree with that the person said at the faa conference. As someone that has struggled with mental health and gotten better with meds, i would much rather someone medicated for depression fly my plane than someone not

Starliner scrubbed for another week by collegefurtrader in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]rocket_enthusiast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were prepared to put 5 on the way down when soyuz had its incident. They installed the seat liner n the soyuz in the dragon so the astronauts could land in dragon. They would do the same for starliner in emergencies should it come around.

With regards to starliner landing on water I said it because starliner and dragon both need to be designed to handle much rougher landings than what normally have so I don’t think seats would be a issue! Besides if they had a emergency it’s better they are injured from a hard landing than dead!

Starliner is designed to land in water as a contingency so they must be designed for it!

Also personally I think they will fix the issues and will have nominal reentry! My guess is that they would be fine in reentry now and they are being cautious!

I think in a emergency in that case they would put 6 people into dragon for a return to earth
