This just seems smart to me, the 2 astronauts who will be bumped will also be bummed out but I suspect that that happens a lot to astronauts.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Starliner comes back by itself - also to see what Boeing does, do they just cut bait or try to stick it out ?

Boeing is really on the wrong heading recently.
