TL;DR Summary

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has been assembled atop its United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket in preparation for its first crewed test flight to the International Space Station next month with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. The mission, if successful, will pave the way for operational Starliner missions to the space station. The spacecraft has faced delays and technical challenges, but NASA and Boeing are conducting thorough reviews to ensure safety. This will mark the first time two human-rated US spacecraft will be operational simultaneously, with SpaceX's Crew Dragon already flying astronauts.
