I actually wonder if the test pilots would be more willing to ride it back than NASA would be to let them. If Boeing can’t get the autonomous return to work soon and the astronauts think they can take her down gingerly and feather the controls or something…

I dunno, there’s only so much a pilot can do while screaming down through the atmosphere in a ball of fire.
