Someone needs to sit down with reps from Boeing and NASA and ask them some specific questions.

What specificly is the problem? A leak, or a malfunction in the attitude jets? Or is it both? Did one cause the other or are they separate issues?

How about an EVA? Would visual inspection do any good? Do they have the tools to repair it?

If the issue(s) is resolved, do you have enough Helium left for return? Can it be refilled?

Is it true that the vehicle's software can't be programmed for unmanned reentry?

Is it true that you can't undock the capsule without someone being in it?

This is all stuff I read online. How much is true?

Never ask professional liars questions—unless you already know the answers.

yes it’s true they can’t undock without crew inside starliner, because in Boeing infent wisdom they took out the auto docking /undocking sequence from their flight software.

an EVA will not help.

yes boeing is updating the flight software to allow for auto undocking, but they have to test the software first.
