  1. From the article:
    >Additionally, Stich [NASA] said, Starliner was cleared to leave the space station at any time in the event of an emergency.

    >Nappi [Boeing], however, did admit he had inadvertently fueled the “lost in space” narrative.

    >Asked how he would handle things differently, he said: “We would not have been so emphatic about [it being] an eight-day mission. It’s my regret that we didn’t just say we’re going to stay up there until we get everything done that we want to go do.”
