Starliner update X: the Dragon rescue is on for Feb. Will try to bring sta
Starliner back autonomously. (Fat chance it survives).
An earlier mission did everything autonomously. Dock, unlock, re enter. Different computer program load.
Will try to do it again with uncertainty in extent of damage done the ACS thrusters and plumbing.
The delay in announcing is likely a combination of the various failure review boards reporting out and the "speed" of contract actions....let alone finding funds to do it. Reprogramming action on hill probably.
