Damn you know they have real doubt about Starliner with this decision. People were saying Nasa was just being super careful and the vehicle was perfectly fine like Boeing said. But with the astronauts being forced to use Crew Dragon, they can’t wear their space suits. Because the suits they use on Starliner aren’t compatible with all the SpaceX stuff. This can be a big risk, if there is a problem with the vehicle, the astronauts have no protection. But Nasa must have decided that was a smaller risk over using the Starliner. That says a lot.
Can’t they just send up extra suits with the dragon capsule? Badly fitted suits are probably better than none, it’s not like they are piloting it down.

NASA has the measurements of all their astronauts and Dragon flight suits for Butch and Suni are already made.
They’re sending spaceX suits up with crew dragon. They’d never allow anyone to re-enter without a suit.
I haven’t seen that in any official reports yet. Mind sharing where you saw that?
2 suits and 2 seats are coming up on Crew 9 in about a month.
