00:00While SpaceX treated Dragon like an iterative software project – test, fly, fail, improve
00:07– Starliner was managed like a classic Boeing program.
00:11Long development cycles, paper reviews, little real flight experience, maximum risk aversion.
00:20SpaceX got intensive support from NASA early on and worked transparently.
00:26Boeing, on the other hand, withdrew, worked in isolation and largely rejected external
00:32help.
00:35The Resight is what we see today.
00:37Dragon is operational, flexible, highly redundant, docks autonomously, can be flown manually and
00:45now even performs orbital corrections for the ISS.
00:49Starliner can do all of that too, at least on paper.
00:53But in practice, it has lost something.
00:55Something that's priceless in spaceflight – trust.
