Boing Starliner expected to launch 1 June [View all]

Less than 2 hours from now. Will believe it when I see it. About 11:35am Central.

Musk is slated to launch Starship #4 on 5 June.

CNN

Boeing’s Starliner is aiming to launch its crewed maiden voyage Saturday, a mission that has been a decade in the making.

The new spacecraft is expected to lift off atop an Atlas V rocket at 12:25 p.m. ET from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. A livestream of the event began at 8:15 a.m. ET on NASA’s website.

Weather conditions are 90% favorable for launch, with the only concerns being winds and cumulus clouds, according to Mark Burger, launch weather officer of the 45th Weather Squadron at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
