Boeing's Starliner Spacecraft May Now Be a Full Decade Behind Schedule
Ars Technica·Thursday, 2 July 2026
NASA's inspector general says Boeing's Starliner crew capsule may not receive final certification until 2027, which would make it ten years later than Boeing originally promised. The spacecraft has faced repeated technical failures and delays. NASA is still relying on SpaceX's Crew Dragon to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station in the meantime.
Why It Matters
Starliner was meant to give NASA a backup option for crewed spaceflight and reduce dependence on a single private company. A decade-long delay changes that calculus entirely.
