"Boeing's Starliner Cleared for First Astronaut Flight After Tape Removal"

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is set for its first crewed flight to the International Space Station in May, following the removal of safety hazards including flammable tape and parachute concerns. The spacecraft, part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, has faced multiple delays and setbacks, but is now ready for launch with astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore on board. This marks a significant milestone for Boeing in its efforts to provide NASA with an alternative to relying solely on SpaceX for crewed missions to the ISS.
