Once the Starliner lands and checks out with ground crews, the capsule will be transported to Boeing facilities at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for refurbishment ahead of its next flight.
Who wants to bet it never makes it?

Let us see if they can successfully undock without damaging anything on the space station.
The article blew by that issue.

Safely to the ground or another flight? Both are strong possibilities

I had a thought.
Say a future Starliner with crew aboard, lost propulsion power between Eath and somewhere else on space. Could another craft such as a Space X dragon dock with it in space to rescue the stranded crew?

“lost propulsion power”
Then it would start spinning wildly.
Does that answer your question?
Space is a zero defect environment.
DEI can mean dead.

Perhaps it will make it back in one piece. Miracles do happen. What are the bookies saying?

Supposedly American and Russian ships could dock with each other for that very reason. I don’t know about now......

...refurbishment ahead of its next flight. I think I'd pass on that one, thanks. Probably a little paranoid there - it isn't as if Boeing would deliberately send a flight up with known technical issues...oh, wait...
To: Red Badger
Early on in the joint US-Soviet space missions, the astronauts and cosmonauts demanded common docking hardware.
To: Red Badger
If it crashes I believe Boeing will too.
