Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is 'go' for May 6 astronaut launch
Starliner's Crew Flight Test is officially on for May 6.
Things didn't go well, however; Starliner suffered a series of problems shortly after liftoff, which caused it to get stranded in an orbit too low for a rendezvous with the station. They're replacing a valve at the launch pad, for example, and analyzing contingency scenarios for the jettisoning of Starliner's forward heat shield during reentry to Earth's atmosphere. Elon Musk's company is currently preparing to wrap up its 30th such flight; the latest Dragon cargo capsule is set to return from the ISS on Sunday (April 28).
