NASA adds two more Starliner launches to salvage program
Original: NASA will add two more Starliner launches to shore up troubled spacecraft program
NASA has committed to two additional Boeing Starliner launches as it works to stabilize the troubled crew spacecraft program, which has faced repeated technical setbacks and delays. The decision signals the agency's continued support for Starliner as a second option for ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station alongside SpaceX, despite ongoing concerns about the vehicle's reliability.
Why now: NASA's renewed backing of the problem-plagued Starliner contradicts expectations that the program might be scaled back, drawing attention to the future of US crewed spaceflight options.
