A New Crew Capable Spacecraft is Ready!

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.

Mr President, a fifth helium leak has hit the starliner

This had twice as much funding to develop over the Dragon capsule. It also has been in development for over twice as long.

So, why is NASA spending money on this exactly???

Well considering Starliner is using the mighty Russian RD-180 rocket engines Boeing's need to pick up pace.

This spacecraft is no where near ready

I'm fearful for that crew on that P.O.S.

Boeing has had an actual alien tech spaceship since the 70s. Funny how they fool you guys with this smokescreen.

And the crew are stuck at the ISS. Can't come back in the Starliner. Might not be safe.

SpaceX might need to rescue them.

it did not explode, boeing did not fake this video to cover the deaths of the pilots, i do not associate with anyone who thinks otherwise
