I'm not shitting on Starliner, it's great that we have another person-rated capsule for spaceflight.
I'm just pointing this out because there are many people apparently who are confusing Starliner for Boeing's version of Starship, i.e. a whole rocket plus crew rated capsule.
- dylan604 2y agoStarliner would be more rightly compared to Crew Dragon. Why would anyone compare to Starship?
- HWR_14 2y agoThe names are very similar.

- ericd 2y agoHaha zodiac would be a good fit, though.
