2 So the Atlas rocket failed and the payload is at fault because Boeing moved some offices to Chicago? OK, I get it.

4 The notion that corporate culture at the head office has no effect on product is peculiar.

5 Ah, but how is their diversity program? That's the important bit.

6 BTW a side point. Boeing designed the capsule to be able to be launched on an Atlas, Vulcan or F9. So if they need to do a bunch of cheap testing they could use end of life F9 boosters.

7 Much as some people hate it, SLS and Vulcan will make or break Boeing and ULA.

11 The "insertion burns" were handled by the clock on the "payload" #2, so it wasn't the "Atlas rocket" that failed. K?

13 The boost by the Atlas was near perfect. It was the Starliner thruster onboard sequencing that STB.
