I’d like to imagine we’d go somewhere interesting, like Europa or Titan, or marginally habitable, like the upper atmosphere of Venus.

This isn’t Boeing very well… Faulty timer knackers Starliner cargo capsule on its way to International Space Station

It seems to be (wait for it…) a software problem!

Also, no x-mas presents for the 'nauts now.

Boeing craft has a software problem at a critical moment, and claims that an on board crew should have been able to correct the problem. Where have I heard that one before?
