"Boeing's Starliner Prepped for Crewed Test Flight from Cape Canaveral"

TL;DR Summary
Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft has been installed on the Atlas 5 rocket for its upcoming crewed test flight to the International Space Station in May. The Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission, scheduled for no earlier than May 6, will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the ISS, where they will stay for about eight days before returning to Earth. The mission aims to test the spacecraft's systems with a crew on board and, if successful, could lead to the certification of Starliner for regular crew rotation missions starting in 2025.
