Also, Boeing Starliner failed its first launch because the clock in the control program was wrong, causing the engines to fire early and use up their fuel too quickly, meaning that it could not reach its intended orbit. How the control program was allowed to go to launch without being fully tested is beyond me. If I had to choose a program to put me into space, I'd pick the one with the proven successful program. |

You have to wonder if this thing will ever make it to regular service. It seems cursed.
