Original: NASA will add two more Starliner launches to shore up troubled spacecraft program
NASA will add two additional Boeing Starliner launches as it works to shore up the troubled spacecraft program. The decision signals continued commitment to Starliner despite setbacks, including technical problems that have delayed its operational use for ferrying crews to the International Space Station. The move keeps Boeing in the mix alongside SpaceX for NASA crew transport needs, though questions remain about the spacecraft's reliability and schedule.
Why now: NASA's decision to expand Starliner flights signals a renewed vote of confidence in Boeing's struggling program, prompting debate about cost, safety and the future of commercial crew transport.
