    separate department, same corporate mentality …

    • “the Starliner program operates independently from the company’s other units”
    • “races to understand spacecraft issues”
    • “engineers on the ground scramble to learn more about issues that plagued the first leg”

    “Officials have said there is no reason to believe Starliner won’t be able to bring the astronauts back home” Yeah sure whatever. there was also no reason to believe the door would fall off of that jet in mid flight.
