Ok, I won't call the test a "bust".
It's a total POS.

Default A slightly different spin...

'We?re not stuck.' Why Boeing?s Starliner isn?t returning to Earth (yet)

https://www.npr.org/2024/07/03/nx-s...-station-return


This one points to the problem:

Quote:
At its root, Epstein says these issues are caused by a move away from ?hardcore engineering? within the company?s management.

?You have management teams over a number of years that have focused more on shareholder return than the core engineering business of the company,? he says.

Yup. And Starliner is not the only program that fell victim to this.

Pretty much anything directly associated with NASA is a way-behind-schedule defective money-sucking-vortex.
Big bad JOKE.
