I feel like if I was one of the astronauts picked, I'd fake the measles or something so I could nope the fuck out of it.

You want to believe that the quality control issues in their aircraft wing don't cross over to starliner, but delays, glitches and multiple other issues in Starliner say otherwise.

It’s not like they had to do software updates on the fly to land it last launch.
