Please note that this question concerns the first UNCREWED test flight.

Other polls will deal with the first manned flight and the first mission to the ISS.

Poll running for 60 days.

Went with SpaceX. I may be missing something huge (COPV?), but my impression of the tea leaves I've read around this site is that SpaceX is more waiting for ISS/range/integration schedules to align than solving technical problems at this point.

I'm nervous about the issue Starliner experienced this summer. It did not sound indicative of a mature spaceflight design/test organization to me, despite prior evidence to the contrary.

Not a lot of surprise in this poll.
