> But even that is not enough: Ars doubles down, and now NASA's refusal to provide a concrete updated launch date means not only is it "[slipping] into 2024", but apparently almost to 2025:

A few month delay? It was originally supposed to fly in 2017. with Crews in 2020.

And SpaceX Crew-1 was originally supposed to fly in November 2016, and was then delayed a year, and then another two years, and then another year, finally flying in November 2020.

It was delayed the same amount of time as Starliner initially. Now Dragon is operational, and Starliner still isn't done with the final design/assembly of it.
