  • Today's featured article is expanded to three articles; at present we have just over 2100 FA that give us about 700 days, or almost 2 years to cycle through current ones including those that have already been on the main page.
  • Featured Picture occupies the whole width, the reason is that pictures have three formoats, Portrait, Landscape, and Panorama. Along with the image, the text and attribution need to all be clearly displayed 50% or 33% result in too many compromises. 66% is possible to enable a Featured list, Sound links though it still impacts on panorama images.

Boeing Crew Flight Test

Boeing Crew Flight Test was the first crewed mission of the Boeing Starliner capsule. Launched on 5 June 2024, the mission flew a crew of two NASA astronauts, Barry E. Wilmore and Sunita Williams, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to the International Space Station. The mission was intended to last eight days, ending on 14 June with a landing in the American Southwest. However, the capsule's thrusters malfunctioned as Starliner approached the ISS. After more than two months of investigation, NASA decided it was too risky to return Wilmore and Williams to Earth aboard Starliner. Instead, the Boeing spacecraft returned uncrewed on 7 September 2024, and the astronauts will ride down on the SpaceX Crew-9 spacecraft in February 2025. This photograph shows the Crew Flight Test launch, with capsule Calypso atop an Atlas V rocket.
