TL;DR Summary

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are set for a third attempt to launch Boeing's CST-100 Starliner on its first human spaceflight, aiming for a 10:52 a.m. liftoff from Cape Canaveral. Previous attempts were scrubbed due to technical issues, but teams have since resolved them. If successful, the astronauts will spend over 24 hours traveling to the ISS, where they will stay for eight days before returning to Earth. This mission is crucial for Boeing to achieve certification under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, sharing duties with SpaceX.
