“We are letting the data drive our decision."

oh, yeah? and what drove your decision to launch the thing in the first place when there were already several unresolved leaks?

Starliner shouldn't have launched in the first place, and now they're stuck.

Because Boeing let everyone know that the roads where icy this time of year, and windows let in a lot of air.

They don't have to come back on this shuttle, there are other ways to get them home. Assuming it's being resupplied at the normal level, they should be able to remain aboard the station for a few extra months without any trouble. That would be without any extra resupply as well.

I literally said this would be the best plan of action a week ago. They need to hire me.
