Meanwhile, ISS personnel failed to expand the BEAM module today, but SpaceX still plans to launch and land this afternoon.

Making the BE-4 a commercial product may be his smartest move.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the BEAM that is in thine own eye?

Stiction? (They forgot to put talcum powder on the inside? What would you use, seriously, that you wouldn’t eventually breath or could tolerate breathing? Next time coat the inside with silicon tetrafluoride? (Wow, Teflon is sooo much easier to say.)
Man, it is like nearly everything that can go wrong goes wrong. First it was that Falcon 9 failure when it was carrying IDA-1. So still no automated dockings. Now the BEAM fails to inflate. Suborbital commercial space is going to take some effort…
FWIW with all the astronauts in the ISS, plus regular flights, there’s a fair better chance of them getting BEAM operational eventually than if it was an automated robotic space station. So who knows.
