For what it's worth, the last two Cygnus cargo ships had to fly on Falcon 9s because they ran out of Antares rockets.

But they have Dragon, Cygnus, and maybe Dreamchaser for cargo. Those guys wouldn't be thrilled if Starliner started to show up as a cargo ship.

Starliar

Hopefully Boeing learns something from this whole debacle

Facts should be non partisan. What a dumb fucking timeline.

Ehhh, Falcon is still an absolute champ. But yeah, Starship development is not going according to plan and nobody will fly on it anytime soon.

The goal remains for the first flight of Tenacity this year.

No way. EMI/EMC, acoustics, DITL, hot fire... Yeah, no way.

EVERY. LUNAR. LANDER. SHOULD. HAVE. LIFE ALERT.

Good on them. It's late and expensive, but it's flying now, and can hopefully help bridge the gap for European launch until one of the startups gets up and running.

I'm pretty disappointed in the last two, but the failures were both ship v2 that completely redid the plumbing. But yeah, you'd think they'd be doing better by now.

Angara instead of Energia M is even more depressing than Angara on its own.
