Third time’s the charm for Boeing. The aerospace company successfully sent its Starliner capsule on its way to the International Space Station after two failed (and costly) attempts in 2019 and 2021. Eventually, Starliner will act as a space taxi to shuttle astronauts between Earth and the space station. No human crew members were on board, but one seat was occupied by a mannequin named Rosie the Rocketeer.

For the good of America, I hope it has a successful re-entry, when it departs the ISS...

Better late than never, as the saying goes! It still must "automatically dock with the International Space Station, using its onboard sensors to guide itself onto an open docking port. Then it will need to undock and come home, safely landing back on Earth."
