I guess the test will be what happens when a panel falls off?
Two weeks to fuel up? Doesn’t SpaceX fuel up in like 45 minutes, on the pad?
Remember, Boeing got the contract for this at the same time SpaceX got theirs for Crew Dragon.

That mission, called Crew Flight Test (CFT), is currently scheduled to launch in early May atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, on Florida's Atlantic coast. It will send NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to the International Space Station (ISS) for a roughly 10-day stay.

On Monday (March 18), Boeing announced that it had taken a significant step toward launch — beginning to load propellant into Starliner, a process that will take about two weeks.

Hope a door doesn’t blow off mid flight

Can't ULA actually get a rocket out of low earth orbit and into lunar orbit

I hope this isn’t all the people working on the project. Very little diversity. Hopefully that lady and half those old white baws are gay.

Katie, bar the door! No seriously, Katie, will you please bar that door?

If I were them, I'd call in sick that day. Boeing is not having a good track record lately when it comes to flight, and that flight is still in our atmosphere, not outer space.

SX fuels up their Starship, the largest rocket ever built and launched into space, in 40 minutes.

Boeing can't get people from Newark to New York without issues.

Oh wow! I bet this will end successfully.

Ballsy. So no text flights or anything? Just bam - let's go to space.
I'm sure it's made pretty good. I mean, with their DEI programs in effect, there was pretty good people working on them.
Not the best... but pretty good..

That’s a little far to go to hide the whistle blowers “suicide” evidence?

Article says they did two unmanned test flights. First was a failure. Second worked.
