Boeing's Starliner to launch astronauts to ISS on May 6

Boeing's Starliner is set to launch astronauts to the International Space Station on May 6. The mission marks Starliner's second flight to the ISS after facing delays and over $1.5 billion in costs. NASA's Commercial Crew Program aims to increase astronaut transportation resources. The mission's loss-of-crew probability is 1-in-295, meeting NASA's safety standards. Successful completion will lead to regular missions under the CCP contract.
