Boeing is slated to launch its long-anticipated Starliner spacecraft — which is built to carry NASA astronauts — on an uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station, a follow-up to the company's botched first attempt 18 months ago, tomorrow.

Take on SpaceX? Boeing? That's beyond laughable. Boeing is a clown show. Meanwhile SpaceX is about to launch a new fully reusable rocket with up to 100 tons of payload capacity. One hundred tons. This "race" has been over for quite a few years now.

Pratt and Whitney pushes propellers. That's all I know.

And...

It didn't happen... Something about a valve. There is no apparently date for them to try again. After the Russian 'mishap', I wouldn't be so gung-ho to have another 'new item' trying to hook up to the ISS.

Good luck Boeing! You need this to go off with no hiccups...
