Starliner Test Flight

I agree. It was a moment of unusual dissent from NASA, against surely what was the advice of another prime contractor, and likely a whole lot of other influential people. I suppose Columbia was more an issue of NASA fighting itself, but this definitely reads like the alternate ending of Challenger where someone said "stop this" and Morton-Thoikol wasn't allowed to blow sunshine up their asses

From what I read, Boeing gave it the thumbs up and NASA declined.

I can understand why NASA might not give Boeing’s opinion as much credence today as they might have a few years back.
