Boeing’s Starliner capsule may finally carry a crew to the space station

Boeing and SpaceX once were racing to be the first to carry NASA astronauts to the International Space Station in a privately built spacecraft. That race ended in 2020 with SpaceX coming out the victor. After technical problems in 2019 and 2021, Boeing finally sent an uncrewed Starliner to the space station in 2022.

NASA recently said the mission could occur mid- to late-April and we will provide a more precise launch date for this mission when Boeing and NASA announce it.
