No, since Columbia. As mentioned in the article, one of the contributors to the Columbia disaster was that the safety culture at NASA hadn't changed enough in response to the Challenger disaster.

It looks like NASA is treating the Starliner situation with more caution, which is encouraging. That this situation happened in the first place is less encouraging.
