Boeing Starliner Lands In New Mexico After Inaugural Orbit

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft completed its first test flight, landing successfully in New Mexico. Despite a successful launch, the spacecraft faced technical issues due to a timing error, preventing it from reaching the International Space Station. The test still met other objectives, such as demonstrating abort capabilities and communication systems. NASA and Boeing are working to resolve these issues, with plans to start using the Starliner for astronaut transport to the space station. NASA also supports SpaceX's Crew Dragon for similar missions.
