NASA Astronauts Set for Historic Launch on Boeing's Starliner

Veteran astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will pilot the first crewed test flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft to the ISS on May 6.

The mission marks a critical milestone for Boeing, aiming to demonstrate its capability to safely transport crew to and from low-Earth orbit.
Software glitches and hardware issues have delayed the Starliner's first crewed mission, now set after several years of setbacks.
The astronauts will spend about a week at the International Space Station, conducting various tests and operations.
Boeing's successful mission would pave the way for routine flights to the ISS, competing with SpaceX.
NASA, Boeing, and ULA have completed a full mission dress rehearsal, confirming readiness for the upcoming launch.
