Boeing didn’t perform full end-to-end test of its astronaut capsule before troubled mission
From OrlandoSentinel.com:
"In the weeks since Boeing flew its astronaut capsule on an ill-fated demo flight, questions about the company’s testing procedures prior to the mission have started to emerge — putting safety at the center of a debate on the future of human spaceflight.
... Now it seems some of those decisions are raising flags among safety experts."

I've been very critical of Boeing in the past, but this takes the cake for me.
We're talking human spaceflight here! Shortcutting the safety process is beyond belief!
