NASA is evaluating options for another test flight of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner commercial crew vehicle before beginning regular ISS missions.

    Not entirely /s. Kuiper on Falcon 9 was confirmed over a year ago.

    Starliner (Strainer?) on Falcon 9 would violate NASA’s dissimilar redundancy requirements, but if the other options are Starliner not flying at all, or human-rating Vulcan, then maybe it could happen?

      For what it’s worth, the last two Cygnus cargo ships had to fly on Falcon 9s because they ran out of Antares rockets.
