NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams encountered an unexpected ‘pulsing sound’ while aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft docked at the International Space Station (ISS), sparking brief sci-fi thriller vibes . The duo reported the recurring noise to Mission Control last weekend, with audio recordings revealing their calm yet curious tone.
NASA later confirmed the sound was caused by an audio configuration glitch between the ISS and Starliner—think of it like an intergalactic Zoom feedback loop . The agency reassured the public that the issue posed no safety risks to the crew or operations, quipping that ‘space station sound systems are *complicated*.’
The Starliner, currently scheduled to return to Earth uncrewed on September 6, has been a focus of global attention since its June launch. While the sound mystery is solved, the spacecraft’s journey remains a high-stakes test for Boeing’s space ambitions .
NASA emphasized that such audio quirks are common in the ISS’s labyrinth of interconnected modules—proving even astronauts aren’t immune to tech hiccakes. Next stop: Earth re-entry, no autotune needed!
