How many docking ports are on the ISS? Maybe this is Boeing's way of slowing down Dragon capsule dockings? Or maybe this will be their Apollo 13 version of a successful failure? /s

If Crew Dragon needs to be launched to bring back the Starliner's passengers, that should be the final nail in Starliner's coffin.

I'm seriously shocked that NASA allowed themselves to be bullied by Boeing to allow this thing to have been launched at all.

I'm gonna go with Hanlon's razor here. The Starliner team seems to have enough trouble just getting a single Starliner to the ISS without issues, I can't imagine they're capable of devising a malicious plan to interfere with a competitor.

Sorry, I had a /s after the first graph, but lost it in an edit. Of course I don't think that was any where close to actual intent.
