Join The Investor Club > ⁠⁠⁠https://stagezero.supercast.com/ In today's episode, we're diving into the world of commercial space travel, as Boeing faces yet another delay for their Starliner capsule's first mission carrying astronauts to space. The stakes are high as the company hopes to join SpaceX's Crew Dragon in providing NASA-approved rides to orbit. This delay comes amidst a series of setbacks and technical debates, and in this episode, we'll explore the details and implications of this development for Boeing, NASA, and the commercial space industry. Boeing's Starliner capsule, initially planned for an April launch, has now been postponed until at least the summer. This decision follows last-minute tests and technical debates, pushing the mission behind a private astronaut mission scheduled for May. The Starliner crewed mission represents a crucial moment for Boeing's space unit, as it aims to join SpaceX's Crew Dragon as the second NASA-approved vehicle for orbital missions. With the certification process taking longer than expected, Boeing is struggling to keep up with Elon Musk's SpaceX in the growing market for private astronaut flights.
