Boeing\u2019s Starline is grounded at least until 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the public spat between US President Donald J. Trump and Tesla\/X\/Starlink\/SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk \u2013 that thank God is all but over, now \u2013 there was a moment when Trump floated cutting the billion-dollar contracts of SpaceX with NASA, after which an irate Musk responded by saying that he was decommissioning the company\u2019s Dragon spacecraft from work.<\/p>\n

While Musk has since backpedaled the threat, for a moment everyone attuned to the Space Program thought to themselves:\u00a0 that would leave NASA in the hands of the Russians and their Soyuz capsules<\/em>, since the alternative Starliner craft from trouble-plagued Boeing are still grounded after the failed maiden crewed mission, in which it left astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore stranded in space for almost a year.<\/p>\n

Now, news arise that NASA is delaying the earliest flight of the Starliner spacecraft to 2026.<\/p>\n

The Boeing Starliner spacecraft has successfully landed in the American state of New Mexico , NASA announced in a broadcast.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agency had previously said that Starliner\u2019s next flight to the International Space Station could occur as early as the end of this year. NASA said it is still evaluating whether the next flight would carry astronauts on board or only cargo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Musk, who has been engaged in a high-profile feud with President Donald Trump, on June 5 threatened to decommission the Dragon before later saying the spacecraft would stay in operation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Boeing\u2019s Starliner is still uncertified by NASA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cAfter suffering a botched test flight in 2024 that left two astronauts on the ISS for more than nine months, the Boeing vehicle has still not been certified for carrying astronauts. Because of engine issues with Starliner, NASA turned to SpaceX to bringing home the astronauts on a Dragon craft.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Space Connect<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019NASA is assessing the earliest potential for a Starliner flight to the International Space Station in early 2026, pending system certification and resolution of Starliner\u2019s technical issues\u2019, the agency said in a statement on Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018The agency is still evaluating whether Starliner\u2019s next flight will be in a crew or cargo configuration\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When Starliner returned safely \u2013 but uncrewed \u2013 to Earth, Boeing\u2019s engineers saw that as a vindication, as they were reportedly confident it could have made the trip home with Wilmore and Williams onboard.<\/p>\n
