If they manage to human rate Vulcan, I don't think it would be technically hard to launch Starliner on it. Just looking at Cygnus which used three different rockets from three different companies.

I'm not trying to relativize, but if an 11 year old can do such mess with a "two-way communication device", then there is a problem with many other things involved.

I hate this reasoning. Why is this a fitting way to die? What would be a fitting way to go for a cook or an athlete then?

This kind of decoupling could be seen in the early 20th century leading to a world war. So not obvious whether it is good or bad.

Regardless of her, having unsuspended because she's known enough. But how many people are suspended by an automated system and without any reason, and who will not have the reach to solve their ban?

The same with contour line elevations. They are unreadably small, and when zooming in enough they just disappear. Hate it.
