A heavy space plane has zero advantages over a capsule for most work done in LEO. It&amp;#x27;s good to see this renewed focus on more practical designs.&lt;p&gt;(If that&amp;#x27;s incorrect and you&amp;#x27;re qualified to correct me please do.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Having said that&lt;/i&gt;, the name Starliner writes a check that a manned capsule won&amp;#x27;t ever be able to cash. This is the first time I&amp;#x27;ve heard of Boeing&amp;#x27;s Starliner and it got me really, really excited until I pulled up a picture of it. They really should have picked a less grandiose name.</text></comment>
