Boeing says it is 'incredibly excited' to be sole US astronaut transport
Original: Boeing “incredibly excited” to serve as nation’s only astronaut transportation
Boeing has said it is 'incredibly excited' to serve as the nation's only means of astronaut transportation, according to an Ars Technica report. The claim implies SpaceX is currently unavailable to fly NASA crews, leaving Boeing's Starliner as the sole option. Details on why the other provider is grounded, and how long this arrangement would last, were not given.
Why now: The prospect of a single company carrying all US astronauts is a striking shift in NASA's commercial crew programme, prompting debate.
