Hi @SciGuySpace, In your recent Ars article you quote Bill Nelson as saying that he will make the final call on Starliner’s return. Do Butch & Sunni have a veto on that? Has any astronaut ever refused to fly over safety concerns? Thanks.

Hey look @AndrewParsonson, Orbex have finally finished their rocket……erm, hold on a minute.
We're thrilled to unveil our new Orbex Prime model, which is currently being showcased it at the 4S Symposium in Spain. Curious about our new model or interested in launching your small satellites directly from Europe? Visit the team at Booth 30! #journeytolaunch #EuropeanLaunch
