Boeing would really, really like to figure out what went wrong with the thrusters. Unfortunately, they options for checking them in orbit are very limited, and they're on the service module, which will be discard before entry, and burn up. Hopefully, a door won't pop out of this Boeing craft before they land. An interesting sidenote: This will be the first time the US has tried to land a manned capsule on *land*, as opposed to an ocean splashdown. pt
