Next Crewed Boeing Starliner Flight Pushed to 2028
Original: Next Crewed Boeing Starliner Flight Not Until 2028
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is not expected to carry astronauts again until 2028, according to a new report on the program's status. The capsule has been grounded since its 2024 crewed test flight returned without its NASA astronauts due to thruster problems. The delay means SpaceX will continue carrying crews to the International Space Station for the foreseeable future.
Why now: The long delay for a major NASA crew transport program raises fresh doubts about Boeing's role in human spaceflight.
