ULA Launches NASA’s Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test
Nasa Space Flight ^ | 6/5/2024 | Nasa Space Flight

Posted on 06/05/2024 5:47:06 AM PDT by 6ppc

Here is a live stream of the latest attempt to get Starliner off the ground from Nasa Space Flight's youtube channel. Launch is scheduled for 10:52 EDT. This is an instantaneous launch window. If they have any delay it will be scrubbed.

I tried to find the betting odds on it actually getting off the ground today, but couldn't find anything. My bet is 50%.

Tomorrow SpaceX is launching Starship Flight Test 4. Launch window starts at 8 am EDT. I give SpaceX 90% chance of getting it off the ground.

It’s people stuffed into a capsule sitting on a big, dumb booster, isn’t it...

Sigh.

Watching the close out crew brings back lots of memories. From back when we had flyable(?) vehicles.

Maybe 3rd time will be a charm.
I would not fly on that Cut Corner piece of junk.

The rocket part looks way too small

Surely it will be a success due to Boeing’s use of DEI practices in its design and construction.

Atlas V being used for Starliner, not SpaceX rocket.

12 minutes to go. First attempt aborted at less than a minute, second at 3:50. Wonder if they’ll keep going backwards?

Listening to all the “Go” checks for all the systems sends chills down my spine.

Wonderful speech by Commander Butch just now. A tribute to God. America and the entire team.

Yep. I know people that live near there and will see the launch from their homes.
