Just for the record, 90 minutes before launch. I've got a bad feeling about the Starliner launch. I just hope the astronauts get back safe. Honestly the should have scrapped it when Boeing had nothing but problems.

I really think, new technology or not, having another company that can launch rockets into space is a good thing as it provides more options for technology to develop.
That being said, it's rather important for the company to also show some competency, although you could also argue that them pulling the plug on each liftoff before something bad happens could be a form of competency as well.

@Drive-By Body Pierce Depends on what went wrong today.

@Ghostsof1915 My understanding thus far, is that the launch sequence controller wasn't receiving status signals back fast enough, or correctly from systems that were previously having issues (Helium valve leaks in earlier reports, but now being corrected to say Oxygen leaks - which is a whole lot scarier, like Challenger style failure).
