The Boeing ship has numerous partial failures, mostly in the helium thruster system for fine positioning. They almost had to abort and return to earth. Might have to refill the helium tank before they depart. <edit> why are they using helium?

If Boeing designed a NEW plane from scratch, I'm not sure it would get certification
