Boeing launches its first-ever crew of humans into space—two NASA astronauts—using its long-delayed and over-budget Starliner spacecraft that has been in development under a multibillion-dollar NASA contract. The mission, a final test before Starliner can fly six more missions, is a critical moment for Boeing, whose commercial airplanes unit and space unit alike have suffered successive crises in recent years.
