Boeing is anticipated to experience further financial losses related to its CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, as detailed in an upcoming fourth-quarter financial report. These losses are linked to ongoing issues that have impacted the spacecraft's operations and timelines.

NASA has announced that astronauts stationed on the International Space Station (ISS) will have an extended stay until late March or early April. This is due to complications associated with Boeing's Starliner, which was initially part of a test flight mission.
