Boeing prepares for Starliner's first crewed launch into space after several setbacks
Briefly

After a decade of delays and design problems, Boeing is set to launch its Starliner space capsule into orbit on Monday, carrying human pilots for the first time.
Boeing's Starliner program faced challenges with an incorrectly set onboard clock causing engine firing, thruster failures, flammable adhesive tape, and weak parachute connections.
Boeing and NASA are confident in the readiness of the Starliner for its first crewed voyage into orbit after resolving previous technical issues.
SpaceX, another NASA contractor, has conducted numerous space missions successfully compared to Boeing's Starliner, which has faced setbacks and delays.
