Boeing - a once-proud aviation pioneer and innovator, now slouched over and stumbling about like a drunk.

That's just damned sad.

Side note: we have a Prayer Group in our company (a Boeing competitor), that meets once a week to lift our company up in prayer, and we have begun praying fervently for Boeing - her collapse is bad for our industry and our country,

How’s that focus on moozlum outreach working for NASA? That and DEI are really a winning combination apparently. NASA has become a job’s program with accompanying expected results.

I dunno. Occupying a docking bay for three months... What are they going to learn about Starliner’s condition and exploring solutions for a safe return that they haven’t learned already? Why not bring the Starliner back to earth and study its remains here? Then contract with SpaceX (or the Russians or whoever can) to bring the crew home safely?

Incredible. Can’t they hitch a ride with Crew 8 returning soon? That sounds like a full house already but good grief, make room for them. I would have gone stir crazy long before now...

The astronauts should hold out for a safer ride home. Down is the hard part.

The real reason why this Crew Dragon launch is being delayed is so it will be available as a rescue craft in case Boeing determines that Starliner cannot safely return to Earth.
