the boosters etc are still not reusable, NASA has a good while to go, only the crew module is reusable

I really like the look and feel of the Starliner capsule, but sticking it on top of Atlas Centaur will never not feel like a kludge to me.

improved aerodynamics in case of abort, similar function to the fins on the Dragon2 trunk. It is jettisoned once they leave the atmosphere.

all in all seems like it was quite a successful launch

It is five years late and costs about 3x per launch. SpaceX has launched 50 people over the last five years and was on the second round of NASA crew contracts before Boeing managed their first one. Plus it still needs to land, and the parachutes and heat shield is questionable

EDL is the real test. The rocket itself was nothing new.

Starliner docking cancelled. Their thrusters have failed. The astronauts are stranded outside the ISS.
