Me too. I had thought we were talking about a 1% chance or something like that.

But at the press conference, one of the journalists seemed to be asking about the probability of disaster, and gave 10% as an example. None of the NASA people took the opportunity to say "no that's far too high", or "I'm very confident the uncrewed return of Starliner will be successful", or anything like that.
