Successful, but insufficient. As we learned from Challengers O-rings: a margin of safety is something that doesn't get touched.
This is also a GREAT accidental test of a 1 chute out SAFE and SUCCESSFUL landing. Easy to fixate on what didn't happen, but more important to understand that this was a SUCCESSFUL test of the objectives and in some unanticipated ways. #Starliner #PadAbortTest

You can't say: Oh, we only burned through one third of the o-ring. So we a have two thirds left. No. The o-rings are not supposed to burn through. And the parachutes are not supposed to fail either.

Oh, I totally agree. But if it was
@SpaceX you know this would be "BREAKING NEWS" of a failure of the parachute system that is MEANT to carry astronauts to the ISS! Maybe@BoeingSpace should get a taste of that medicine??? -

During the Apollo abort test, the Little Joe II booster the capsule was sitting on went out of control and disintegrated. The launch escape system performed well and the capsule was recovered safely. Unanticipated events can make for great test data!https://youtu.be/AqeJzItldSQ?t=102 …

I was concerned about the orange cloud of N2O4 from the crashed SM drifting closectovthe crew capsule.

That was expected. A real life pad abort would dump the service module in the water. No BFRC. Maybe a LFRC. And a lot of fish poisoned by the sudden introduction of nitric acid.

The real question now is whether Boeing will be held to the same standard as the (much cheaper) Spacex?
