Boeing will redo botched test for Starliner crew capsule


Boeing said Monday it will repeat a test flight of its astronaut capsule following last year's botched demo, considered a perilous close call by NASA. Boeing spokesman Jerry Drelling said the company is looking to fly a second Starliner capsule, once again without a crew, possibly this fall. The capsule ended up in the wrong orbit and, as a result, could not reach the International Space Station as intended. The capsule ended up in the wrong orbit and could not continue to the space station. SpaceX's first test flight of its crew Dragon a year ago, without a crew, was successful.
