Great to see my friends and NASA Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams back in their Boeing Blue Ascent/Entry pressure suits! Proud of all the work and training they and the team are doing together ahead of #Starliner’s crewed flight.
New mission patch for the upcoming Starliner Crewed Flight Test mission with veteran astronauts (and artists) Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams. Nice!
Atlantis--well cared for by Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for 10 years and counting. Great panel discussion with several veteran astronauts on what it was like 'back in the day'. Thanks Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.
It looks so simple, but there's incredible engineering scrutiny behind parachutes that bring humans back from space. With this test Boeing Space is one step closer. Can't wait to see them fly.
The perseverance and grit of Boeing Space on full display today as the team overcame challenges to take the #Starliner to docking with International Space Station. There are now 3 different crewed, and 3 additional uncrewed spacecraft attached to ISS. (Need a bigger parking lot?)
