Boeing Starliner launch: NASA successfully blasts 1st crewed mission into orbit | FULL

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft successfully launched on its third attempt to fly astronauts to space for the first time on Wednesday, a much-delayed testing milestone after last-minute issues have pushed back the first two crewed launch attempts.
The CST-100 Starliner capsule, with two astronauts aboard, lifted off at 10:52 a.m. ET from a launch pad at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, strapped to an Atlas V rocket from Boeing-Lockheed Martin joint venture United Launch Alliance (ULA).
The NASA astronauts on board: Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 61, is a retired U.S. Navy captain and fighter pilot, Sunita "Suni" Williams, 58, is a former Navy helicopter test pilot with experience flying more than 30 different aircraft. They have spent a combined 500 days in space during two ISS missions each.
Boeing intends for Starliner to compete with SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, which since 2020 has been NASA's only vehicle for sending ISS crew members to orbit from U.S. soil.
