From the post:

>The first crewed test flight of Boeing's long-delayed Starliner spacecraft won't take off as planned Saturday and could face a longer postponement as engineers evaluate a stubborn leak of helium from the capsule's propulsion system. NASA announced the latest delay of the Starliner test flight late Tuesday. Officials will take more time to consider their options for how to proceed with the mission after discovering the small helium leak on the spacecraft's service module.

You might not be wrong. I am willing to bet that starship will have its first successful orbital launch and possible re-entry before this thing can do anything but haul supplies even though its intended as a crew ship.
