NASA and Boeing are getting comfortable launching Starliner with a known leak

Fixing the helium leak would likely delay the Starliner crew test flight several months.

IMHO, NASA should:

  1. Insist on making this flight uncrewed, and pay for it since it is their decision. If things go well--which is unlikely, given all of the problems in both OFT-1 and 2--great. If not, lives saved.

  2. Review their multi-layer review process that let 2 critical software bugs slip through to OFT-1, and now has let major hardware issues slip through to this flight. Something is deeply wrong with the Boeing / NASA review process, and it needs to be fixed.
