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.
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.
