Disgraceful. This will not end well. Boeing and NASA clearly do not have the caliber of people who brought Apollo 13 back home. Boeing has had been working on repairs using a star liner capsule on the ground now for weeks, and it won’t fix. No matter how many times they’ve tried. It looks like SpaceX or nothing.

But hey, Boeing has an engineer with green hair and piercings, so there’s that.

it is not the capsule that is the problem, its the service module that has the thruster issue and the helium leaks.

I was with a contractor assigned to crew systems during the Apollo/Soyuz and Skylab missions. When Skylab relived itself of one solar panel and about 1/2 of it’s insulation. It was all hands on deck. It didn’t have to be a open memo but the attitude was we didn’t care if you were a aerospace engineer or the janitor,all ideas and suggestions were valid and deserved consideration.
