Boeing’s Starliner capsule had so many problems in 2024 that its two test pilots were stuck at the International Space Station for nearly a year. NASA later reclassified the botched mission as a crew-endangering “Type A mishap,” its most severe ranking. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced Monday that Boeing should be ready to launch a new and improved Starliner to the space station - with cargo but no crew - by December. Astronauts will not strap in until 2028 because of the need for further safety redesigns that will take months, if not years, to complete. Manager Dana Weigel stressed that everyone must be confident that all of Starliner’s problems have been resolved before putting astronauts back on board. “Bottom line: We’re on the right path,” said NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg, who will command the next Starliner flight. Hoburg said Starliner’s original test pilots - Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, now both retired - are “American heroes and I am deeply humbled to follow in their footsteps.” NASA always wanted two U.S.-based means of getting astronauts to and from orbit. The space agency shelled out billions of dollars to Boeing as well as SpaceX for ferry service once the space shuttles retired. Elon Musk’s SpaceX became the...",
