Source? I've heard that they have more sensors and telemetry on individual tests, but I hadn't heard that they're more rigorous than other providers.

- thelambentonion 10y agoI don't think that's completely accurate. While Boeing is not going to do an in-flight abort test, they will be doing a pad abort test in October 2017. A technical demonstration of the abort system was one of the requirements of the requirements of the Commercial Crew Transport program.
