Earlier this morning after over a decade of development and testing, we finally watched Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft lift off with humans aboard. This came after a few scrubbed attempts primarily related to the Atlas V launch vehicle both on the 1st of this month and early last month. Fourntately, today there were no issues, and as the clock hit zero the engines ignited and the rocket soon cleared the pad.
By now, Starliner is making its way to the International Space Station with around 20 hours left in its journey. With this mission being considered a test, the rest of the journey to the ISS to the docking and finally the return to Earth will primarily focus on the crew. Here I will go more in-depth into the launch, the remaining mission plan, next steps, and more.
