[i]I'll give you an example. SpaceX has flight computers. Let's say you had this catastrophic failure — it never will happen, but let's say it does happen and you lose all your computers. You have to reboot them. You have to have a computer or you can't come home. Can't. If you can't get the computers back online, you don't survive. That's just the way it is. That's the way the system is designed. If Starliner loses its computers and you can't get them back, we still come home. Under this backup mode, we still have full displays. It's through a different box, because the computers died. So it's through the integrated propulsion control, IPC, into the DMC, the display management computer, which gives us our displays. And we still come home and we still hit the bullseye.[/i]
