The astronauts only need seven hours of “free-flight time” to perform the end-of-mission maneuvers and Starliner currently has enough helium for 70 hours of free-flight time, Boeing said.
From a business point of view, I don’t think lying about this is in their best interest. If they lie to the FAA about their passenger planes, maybe they get an investigation and a fine. If they lie to NASA about the safety of Starliner, they lose their only customer for it.
To be fair, regarding redundancy:
Do we really trust them at this point? I mean, if true that’s great, but they’ve lied before.

Trust? No.
Hoping their greed results in safe conclusion to the mission.
If they succeed, it’ll be in spite of their greed, not because of it.
Man I love nasa!
