After a string of delays impacting Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, NASA has revealed a new target date for the capsule's first crewed launch.

Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft could launch on its first crewed flight to the International Space Station in April next year, NASA has revealed.

Related “The first crewed flight of the Starliner spacecraft, named NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test , is planned for no earlier than mid-April,” NASA said in a post on its website on Thursday.
