Welp, that's that. I wonder how this will affect future flights. Will NASA require an extra test flight prior to Crew-1? If so, Boeing will be one rocket short, as all of the Atlas Vs have already been allocated.

No way Starliner flies again. This whole thing has been a gigantic fiasco from day one. I hope they pull the plug and spend the money on programs with a future.

I disagree, they have so much time and money investment into starliner, it has to fly again. They can't throw out 15 years of development.

They definitely should throw away 15 years worth of development if they are unable to deliver. Any more money spent would be wasted
