    I can’t believe they’re going through with it. The last (only orbital) test flight had serious problems.

      The last (only orbital) test flight

      After the first orbital test flight, they did do a second test flight which did reach the ISS.

        Interesting, I don’t know how I missed that, I follow a lot of space news. Thanks for the info / correction, definitely not as crazy given the second test that reached the ISS.

      Well the astronauts on the inaugural flight are from their death wish division so they accept the risks.
