Boeing should be sending a thank you note to the Russians for delaying the planned original launch date due to the problems with the incoming Nauka module! If Starliner had launched as intended on July 30th the sticking valves may not have been detected resulting in (another) mission failure. I'm sure NASA will want to know the root cause of the sticking valves and what actions Boeing propose to permanently fix it!
