"Boeing's Starliner: Commander Warns of Imperfection Ahead of Astronaut Flight"
TL;DR Summary
Boeing and NASA have delayed the Starliner’s Crewed Flight Test to no earlier than May 1st, 2024, citing scheduling issues at the International Space Station, which is currently hosting 7 vehicles. The capsule, named Calypso, is set to carry two experienced NASA astronauts for the test. Despite the delays, Boeing has made progress in preparing the capsule for launch, addressing issues such as flammable insulating tape and software reviews. The mission, which marks a significant milestone for the company, will be closely monitored by NASA and involve various tests and procedures before, during, and after docking with the ISS.
