あらすじ・解説
Boeing's Starliner, often dubbed the "Calamity Capsule," has faced another delay, pushing its anticipated launch date further into the future beyond the initially planned May 25 timeline. The spacecraft has encountered numerous setbacks since its inception, causing concerns about its viability and effectiveness. Despite the ongoing issues with the Starliner, there is a notable collaboration in space exploration as shown by the recent activities of SpaceX's Crew-9 astronauts. Interestingly, this crew includes former Boeing Starliner team members, underscoring a strong interagency cooperation in achieving space exploration goals.
Moreover, discussions have emerged around Boeing's future projects, including the development of the Boeing 797 aircraft. Some critics argue that the Boeing Starliner project should be reevaluated or even canceled, questioning the substantial financial investments made by NASA into the program without yielding expected outcomes. This sentiment reflects a broader discussion on resource allocation and project prioritization within NASA and Boeing’s strategic goals as they continue to innovate in both aerospace and space exploration sectors.
