Those are distress signals from Congress: “with Boeing getting out of the Starliner business, where are we going to get our (re)election ‘contribution’ checks from?”
It’s the Russian from Armageddon.

Can’t say I recall that option ever being mentioned during any brainstorming sessions for possible failure modes; but thanks for playing, General
The Terran Space Academy people are my go-to for proper analysis, ’cause if you can’t hack (understand) the math, all you have left is WAG (not even up to the level of SWAG)!
I swear they work for Elon… they’re that smart…
It’s like sitting in on an asst prof reviewing a homework problem.
He assumes you’ve already studied the equations and can do the basic math.
Yeah, I recognized that stuff, but I’d have to dig out my old notebooks and sliderule to do it.
Either that or download an app somewhere and fill-in the blanks.
