"Boeing's Starliner Set for NASA Crewed Test Flight in May"

NASA and Boeing are preparing for the first crewed flight of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft in early May, with a launch scheduled for no earlier than May 1. The Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission will send NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station for about eight days before returning to land in the southwestern United States. This mission is the final major milestone before NASA formally certifies the spacecraft for crew rotation flights, starting with the Starliner-1 mission in early 2025.
