If I recall correctly, the helium leaks were undesirable but not critical, while the overheating thrusters could presumably be mitigated with different operational parameters calling for less continuous use. Obviously that last detail would result in a commensurately less capable vehicle, but would it be significantly less, or would it be minor?
If they’re lucky, they’ll get one mission successfully completed before the ISS goes down. Good thing they weren’t allowed to have 100% of the of the commercial crew contract. Good thing SpaceX was able to show everyone how it’s done…
As much as I don’t like Boeing their record in recent years, having more ways into space is a good thing. So I hope that Starliner’s kinks can be worked out.
