Looks like a traditional capsule. I think Musk’s is way cooler. (just from a visual standpoint, mind.)

Somewhere around 2005 one of Boeing’s employees, who went by the name “Mr Hands”, died while having sex with a stallion. Specifically, he bled out from a ruptured colon. I have this suspicion that back during the space race they had a different kind of person working there, and that is why we managed to win. No longer, apparently.

This has to be successful in order for the EPA and FAA to grant Musk permission to launch the next version of the StarShip, unless Bezos and his Blue Horizons object, then its back on indefinite hold for the StarShip.

Boeing was the biggest winner snagging a total of $4.8 billion in government funds to develop, build, test, and get its Starliner spacecraft into orbit by 2017.
They are yet to deliver.

Meanwhile, SpaceX got paid only $2.8 Billion for crew dragon, which they successfully developed and which has been delivering astronauts to the ISS since when President Trump was in power.

Atlas 5? Wasn’t that the Apollo rocket?

...”and the plan is to return 600 pounds of cargo back to Earth.”

Garbage and Human Waste?
