Except for that design glitch where they crash into the ground on autopilot. But I hear that's fixed because now the optional orange light that tells you when the autopilot is feeling crashy is now included for free!

We've all heard of BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module). Now here comes the BOOOOM (Boeing Overstaying Overpriced Orbital Operations Module) ...

They should double-check that the doors are bolted on correctly, just to be safe

Double-check assumes they checked it all.

They should double-check that they were checked in the first place
