    Bone density loss is combatted with exercise. Also people have spent longer then what the Starliner astronauts will in space. So radiation isn’t a huge concern

      Even with exercise, bone and muscle density deteriorate in microgravity. More radiation than planned is generally not a good thing. Is it generally fine? Yes. But being exposed to more of it due to Boeing using unqualified labor to assemble their tickets is absolutely an issue.
