      Not a whole lot of other options at this point. I would totally be in favor of NASA cutting Boeing funding to kickstart a whole new competitor though.

        That’s exactly what I mean. Let Boeing continue failing inside the atmosphere, not outside of it.

      After it landed without any major issues, there’s not really any alternative. They’ll go through with at least the three missions they already authorised. If those go well, Starliner may have a future.

      Space travel is… Hard. Even NASA has had issues (Apollo 13?).
