I didn't see mention of an in-flight abort for the starliner?
I saw one comment recently that stated that the lauch of commercial crew as planned will represent the first manned launches from Cape Canaveral (all others being from KSC) since Apollo 7. Is that correct?

Is that correct?For Starliner, from LC-41, yes it would be. All US manned launches since Apollo 7 have been from LC-39 A or B.
Was the "kennedy" moniker applied to the geographic location of the Cape itself, or to the Air Force station, or both? Regardless, this means Starliner will restore manned flight to the Cape after a 50-year absence. Impressive.
some incremental upgrades, like increased engine thrust – will debut next week on the CRS-12 launch,
Near the end, this excellent article saysQuotesome incremental upgrades, like increased engine thrust – will debut next week on the CRS-12 launch,Now that CRS-12 has flown, was there any evidence that this was, in fact, the case?Several discussions seem to coming to the conclusion that CRS-12 had no greater thrust than CRS-11.
