I mean, they were both for completely different purposes with mission profiles that aren’t even slightly comparable. I think they were both successes in their own ways.
You’re right, they are successful in different ways. Starship was successful in a 2024 type of way, while Boeing was successful in a late 60’s/1970’s sort of way.
The contrast of this launch versus the starship launch is pretty stark

I’m just saying they both did what they set out to do. They both clearly have their own issues to deal with still, but it was a good day!
“We cut corners and nothing bad happened yet, so let’s carry on” is how a bunch of planes crashed, so let’s not give Boeing a full pass here.
