“CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA decided Saturday it’s too risky to
bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and
they’ll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What
should have been a weeklong test flight for the pair will now last more
than eight months.”

More spacesuits Captain !

turns out the spacesuits don't fit. the SpaceX systems are incompatible
with the Boeing ones. Which is something I thought would be
standardized, but turns out it's not.
