I hope they can get everything working… but I don’t want to rely on them. It’s super exciting to see the potential for a European crew capsule. It looks like the esa is actually planning a few different options.
If Starliner can help bridge the gap to something else, then it will have been worth the money and headache IMO. But, yeah, it’s probably a dead end. I just don’t see a world where Starliner flies commercial missions the way Dragon has been.
Yep I hear that for sure.
