After delays and over $1.4 billion of cost overruns, Boeing has finally launched its first crewed spacecraft into orbit. The CST-100 Starliner capsule lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, carrying veteran NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams. After being hit with a series of safety scandals in its commercial jetliner business, Boeing is hoping to catch up with its rival SpaceX, which has been shuttling astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS) since 2020.
