    A bit of news, paraphrased:

    During the coast phase over the past few hours, the flight controllers took the opportunity to perform a few tests of Starliner’s thrusters. During the tests, one of the 12 RCS thrusters on the Crew Module didn’t fire when commanded. The 12 thrusters are divided into 2 redundant sets of 6, so this shouldn’t prevent Starliner from performing reentry and landing.

    The teams also tested 10 of the 28 thrusters on the Service Module, and all performed as expected.

    Not perfect, but not disastrous.
