The destination of NASA astronauts is the International Space Station
The launch was successful, and spectacular, on Wednesday, at 5:52 pm (Greece time) of the Starliner capsule with two NASA astronauts. Atlas V rocket was used.
It was the third launch attempt for the NASA pilots who boarded the capsule bound for the International Space Station (ISS).
NASA hired Boeing and SpaceX after retiring the space shuttles to transport astronauts to and from the space station.
Starliner to the stars! ✨
