One of the Crew said when the service module was ejected it felt like he was hit by baseball bat on the back of his seat. Looks like SpaceX could make that a little gentler.

What is CFT? the 1st crew flight for Boeing? Boeing Crew 1 in /22.
Crew Dragon 2 doesn’t have a service module, it has a trunk. That’s what’s separated before re-entry.
CFT is Boeing Starliner’s Crewed Flight Test – their equivalent of the just-completed SpaceX DM-2 mission, but with three people instead of two.
The dates for future SpaceX Crew D2 missions look about right. But I don’t think Starliner’s OFT-2 is flying until well into 2021 and CFT likely won’t go until 2022. Starliner’s first post-certification mission might not launch until 2023.
