Boeing and NASA just held a briefing yesterday and it looks like Starliner is finally set to launch crew, and in only a few weeks. The program so far has been far from smooth with budget problems, delays, in-flight anomalies, etc. All of which have pushed back this maiden flight that originally was supposed to happen around 7 years ago. This however is set to change with a launch date scheduled for early May.
For the past few months the company, alongside NASA have been working on a few issues that came up related to flammable tape used inside the spacecraft and its parachute safety margin. By now, they are confident these past concerns are now fixed and are just about ready to liftoff. Here I will go more in-depth into the recent briefing, the significance of this launch, what to expect in the next few weeks, and more.
