Preparing for Historic Flight

The crew flight test of the Boeing Starliner marks a significant milestone in NASA's commercial crew program, with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams preparing for the first manned flight. Both astronauts bring extensive experience, having previously flown to the International Space Station on different spacecraft. Their roles in the development of Starliner have included input on hardware and software, making this mission particularly special as it embodies their collaborative efforts. The excitement surrounding this flight is palpable, as it represents years of hard work by teams at NASA and Boeing who have brought this project to fruition.
