> NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said Boeing’s Starliner is planned to make its first crewed flight since 2024 by 2028. NASA intends to conduct an uncrewed Starliner mission to the International Space Station in 2027 before sending astronauts aboard. The spacecraft’s 2024 crewed mission ended after thruster problems delayed the return of its astronauts, who eventually came back on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in 2025.
