    I probably misremembered/misrepresented that. NASA would actually have to book more SpaceX flights to not have Starliner go back-to-back at this point.

    The bigger question might be what Boeing’s refurb/turnaround time is, and whether they can even prep one of their two vehicles and a new service module in 5 months to support a back-to-back.

      Ah, I see. I hadn’t though of the launch cadence challenge from Boeing’s side, but I can see how it could be an issue.
