Original Note:
The second orbital flight test was not flawless. Two OMAC thrusters completely failed during an orbital insertion burn and had to fail over to backups; two RCS thrusters also malfunctioned but were recovered; and a cooling system "was slow to start". https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1600136/boeings-starliner-encounters-propulsion-problems-on-way-to-iss/amp https://spacenews.com/starliner-concludes-oft-2-test-flight-with-landing-in-new-mexico/
