I'm hoping Starliner burns up on reentry.
  • Boeing only has 6 Atlas rockets set aside for future Starliner missions
  • Boeing doesn't have any backup capsules.
A destroyed Starliner will effectively end Boeing's participation in the Commercial Crew program. A successful return would potentially put future astronauts at risk with this capsule.

This makes me wonder if Artemis, also built by Boeing, will be truly reusable. We already know the Artemis (SLS) heat shield barely survived reentry and NASA and Boeing are relooking at the heat shield design and materials.
