      To be fair, regarding redundancy:

      The astronauts only need seven hours of “free-flight time” to perform the end-of-mission maneuvers and Starliner currently has enough helium for 70 hours of free-flight time, Boeing said.

        Do we really trust them at this point? I mean, if true that’s great, but they’ve lied before.
