Oh dear, now NASA is explicitly saying that it may ask SpaceX to ferry the two astronauts back from the international space station where they have been stranded by problems with Boeing's Starliner.
Yet more downwards pressure on Boeing's profile.... and a nice boost for Musk's SpaceX (now being seen as the reliable/safe option).
I'm now waiting for Boeing to announce a shift in its strategy & a name change to try to get out from under their troubles?
