Boeing's hopes of sending astronauts to the International Space Station have suffered another setback. The Starliner spacecraft with NASA astronauts aboard is now set for a February 2023 takeoff, said an official announcement. The mission, which would've been Starliner's first crewed mission, was expected to be launched by the end of 2022. Meanwhile, Starliner's competitor SpaceX is gearing up for its sixth crewed flight.
