    Three Starliner mission managers had key roles on Columbia’s ill-fated final flight.

    I was gonna take issue with that statement until i read this. Causality does seem more probable.

    Shitty Boeing aside, how are they eating up there? I don’t know anything about space station food logistics, but if a planned week has turned into ten weeks, surely there must be a resource strain.

    Edit: Google search says they can regularly send up unmanned supply ships.

    The crew should come back on the Dragon and Boeing be required to solve the problems and carry out another test flight. It is unacceptable that Boeing wants to bring the astronauts back without understanding some of the failures on the Starliner.

      I’m sure they understand the problems, and they understand that solving them would eat into their profits
