To say that Boeing's Starliner program has not gone as planned would be the understatement of the century. The Starliner spacecraft, which NASA included in the Commercial Crew Program alongside the Crew Dragon from SpaceX, has failed to meet expectations in just about every way. The spacecraft was supposed to already be taking human astronauts to and from the International Space Station, just like SpaceX's vehicle, but it has yet to even complete its uncrewed test mission to the ISS.
Now, as SpaceNews reports, Starliner will yet again miss its launch date, according to NASA. Space agency officials recently provided an update on their active programs, revealing that SpaceX's Crew Dragon will launch on its second formal crewed mission by late April, with April 20th being the earliest possible date for that mission. Starliner, meanwhile, will miss its April 2nd launch date by at least another week.
