Normally I wouldn’t compare them because you’re right, they’re very different in terms of mission, but they just happened to launch within a day of one another. Starliner still seems like an expensive POS when compared to falcon and dragon.

Totally agreed, Starliner has had an expensive disaster of a project timeline. But, it finally brought astronauts to the ISS, today's mission was a success! Likewise, Starship made it through reentry mostly intact this time! It's an exciting day for spaceflight!

Let's remember that the first falcon launch didn't get to the desired orbit because of a fuel leak. The first starship launch had a giant number of problems.
