The first crewed flight of Starliner is postponed again, while the first operational mission slides to 2025.
When it comes to the inaugural crewed launch of Starliner, it increasingly feels as though Boeing and NASA are chasing the proverbial carrot on a stick. The latest delay pushes the earliest available launch date to April 2024, a month later than planned, in what’s a seemingly never-ending succession of postponements.
In May 2022, Boeing undertook the Orbital Flight Test-2 , a second uncrewed test flight for Starliner, aiming to pave the way for future crewed journeys. OFT-2 was not without its own tribulations, experiencing a thruster glitch, but Starliner did managed to dock with the ISS and perform a successful return to Earth. OFT-2 set the stage for CFT—a stage that now seems to be perpetually under construction.
