December 19, 20196 yr For space flight fans who'll want to see it in real time the uncrewed liftoff is scheduled for 6:36am ET (11:36 UTC) Friday from Space Launch Complex 41 in Florida. Boeing does need this thing to go well and I hope it will.
December 19, 20196 yr It’s fantastic to see so many launches lately, it’s great to see innovation on such large scale projects again I was honestly was starting to think our best minds were in a time before I was born in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s, but ULA, SpaceX and Rocket lab are starting to people excited about space again, I can’t wait until Blue origin steps up to the new glenn, exciting times ahead Stephen Asus Z170 Deluxe, 32 GB DDR4 Dominator Platinum, i7 6700k mild overclock, GTX Titan ( Pascal ) Win10

It didn`t make it to the right orbit. Off-nominal insertion. Boeing needed this to go well at the end of a horrible year. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/20/boeings-starliner-flies-into-wrong-orbit-jeopardizing-trip-to-the-international-space-station.html
December 20, 20196 yr Author So here`s the prelim. analysis spin on the malfunction. The aircraft would have been on the wrong mission timer so being fully automated, the orbital burn didn't occur when it was supposed to. They regained manual control and stabilized it. They state that they'll get it back to White Sands. Nothing half-way about it: this was a test. butt... Boeing's timing on more software issues is way way off...
