Yes , indeed.... , One might hope for the sake of this supposed test flight.

After facing multiple delays, NASA announced a new launch date for Boeing's Starliner crewed mission.The new targeted date for the Starliner launch is June 1 at 12:25 p.m. NASA also said there will be more launch opportunities on June 2, 5, and 6 if needed.

unfortunately, starlink beat 'em to the punch yet again as though they were stuck up on jacks.

WAS Fun to Watch........skynet is winning ..!

after a 2nd scrub yesterday, boeing/nasa have scheduled a 3rd go at a launch this Wednesday June 5 @ 10:52AM. let's pray that the 3rd time is a charm.

Would be lookin forward to that test flight...... . hopefully !
You gotta think, if I were a test pilot , and the thing,I was suppose to. flight in , ? Got scrubbed that many times,
I might wait for the next bus...?

those two astronauts are BRAVE.

Original Astronaut were mostly ex military flyers. Risk taking was part of the job. Rewards are high for the winners.

I have a book “The Wingmen: The Unlikely, Unusual Friendship Between John Glenn and Ted Williams”. It is a good read.

Where is Chuck Yeager ( famous test pilot)when you need him...?

they finally got that thing in the air today, this morning at 10:52AM EST. wish 'em luck.

Finally! I hope Bezos buys them and gives Elon a run for his money. We just might see a city on Mars and colonized floating space habs and post-scarcity space based solar in our lifetimes. Or not. We might blow up Earth before we figure it out or run out of resources and starve to death. Really hard to say. I try and focus on that bright future type idea if I can.

Quite sure the Moon or Mars will be the purvue of The body Corporzte . But possibly USA will learn some great progressive methods to do something there . And perhaps that info will trickle down,And help out those on Earth..?

I missed the actual launch, but just watched the recording:



(Launch occurs around 1:10:00 in the video)

CNN says they successfully docked with ISS but had a bit of trouble on the way there.

I tried to google Boeing Streamliner because I wanted to know what it is, but the only results I got were Boeing Dreamliner.
