With Starliner only rated to launch on Atlas, and all the Atlas boosters now booked, what booster would Boeing use to launch any other Starliner missions?
My feeling is that they are hoping NASA will pay for man-rating the Vulcan, rather than Boeing having to pay for it themselves. Not sure who paid to man-rate the Atlas V.Of course they'd never consider putting it on a Falcon 9
They also said the 737 Max was safe to fly...

...and from the NASA side, they also said Challenger was good to go

It's complicated by the fact it's an instantaneous launch window, because it's on an intercept with the ISS
Would the fact that they're trying for an instantaneous launch window of the first manned test flight indicate that the vehicle lacks the capability to reach the ISS from a lower phasing orbit ?Gassing Station | Science! | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
