We’ve been letting Iran get away with far too much for four decades. And the George W. Bush administration was feckless in that regard as well. I had thought one of the primary purposes of removing Saddam was to pressure Iran, but if that was part of the plan they botched it almost completely.

…continues with today’s failure of Starliner to get to the ISS. Stories from Eric Berger , Marina Koren, and Tim Fernholz.
The question is whether or not they’ll insist on another uncrewed test flight before putting in crew. Given the cost of an Atlas V, I’d be inclined to say no, given that this failure wouldn’t have resulted in loss of crew. Worst case for a crewed flight would be failure to dock, which would just mean a mission abort back to White Sands. But as we all know, SAFETY IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY.
