Here is the latest update from today: https://www.youtube.com/live/wLNeIx7AwVE?feature=shared
Some interesting info. Lot more than the news will ever cover.
tl;dl
Starliner thrusters all passed 3 hot fire simulations of a return mission. Probably fine to fly home.
Ground testing was able to match what happened to the thrusters on approach. NASA now more confident the theory around fuel flow restrictions was correct.
Catch is they'll never know for sure because the thrusters in space can't be taken apart to examine. And they won't make it back to Earth because they're on a portion that detaches before re-entry.
The rumors around using Dragon for a return mission are true. But in that NASA has had time to think up multiple scenarios that weren't ever possible prior for return missions. There are now around 4-5 options thought up. NASA might go on to test some of those ideas out.
ISS has so many ships docked, with more planned, that a decision on Starliner is happening soon. Regardless of if people are aboard, it needs to leave ISS by September if I was following along correctly.
