- From shaky liftoffs to securing NASA's confidence for a crewed mission, Boeing is one step closer to
redefining space travel and deliveries. MyRadar space correspondent John Zarrella gives a glimpse of the latest milestones in space exploration.

Does this one come with the door on?
They better carry extra bolts with them in Orbit..😄😄😄😄😄😄
All these Boeing-bashers forget that presently Boeing is a company created by the merger of many companies. The military division is entirely separate from the commercial airliner and space division. Boeing hadn't built a spacecraft for humans since the Space Shuttle in the 1970s. SpaceX Dragon 2 had the benefit of the heritage flight hardware already developed for Cargo Dragon, so they were not starting from scratch.
The major reason for the problems with the tape and the parachutes are directly related to the fact that this is to be a MANNED Spacecraft. NASA has much more stringent requirements for manned, as opposed to cargo, spacecraft. If you read the manufacturers spec sheet on the "flammable tape", you will find that it is extensively used in aerospace applications and has high temperature resistance. I expect it is only "flammable" in a high pressure, pure oxygen environment. A requirement to exceed that requirement on MANNED spacecraft came about after the Apollo 1 fire in 1967. The parachute attachment issue would probably not have delayed anything if this was a cargo spacecraft. I think the problem is that the parachute attachment does not hold up under the "double the expected load" standard that NASA mandates. It also would not be an issue unless there is a single parachute failure that puts an increased load on the remaining parachutes.
As for Dream Chaser, it is awesome, but it is still a CARGO ONLY spacecraft. If it ever has a man-rated version, it will be subject to the stringent NASA oversight that goes along with the man rating. It will be interesting to see what happens when they try to achieve the man-rating on Dream Chaser. I honestly expect a manned Dream Chaser to take another 3-5 years before it will fly with people.
The same people that bash Starliner also gush over Starshit and proclaim each of its failed launches a "success".
