NASA: Boeing Committed to Returning Starliner to Space

‘That whole Boeing team, like our whole Commercial Crew Program team, is resilient,’ said Steve Stich, the manager of NASA’s commercial crew program.

Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner could return to space again soon, with hopes that it could be astronaut-ready after the Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this summer, according to Steve Stich, the manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

“We’re working hand in hand with Boeing as well on certification of Starliner, getting that vehicle back to flight,” he said on March 18.
