DocM Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 LC-40's new Dragon crew/cargo tower is nearing completion. Besides making possible near-simultaneous Dragon launches, this will also provide a redundant crew/cargo tower in case something takes out LC-39a. bguy_1986 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) 2023 Commercial Crew review Unless Boeing gets their rear in gear, SpaceX could launch Crew 9, or even Crew 10, before Boeing launches Starliner 1 (Boeing's first operational crew mission). Boeing's Starliner team spent over half of 2023 replacing hundreds of feet of tape. They had used tape with a flammable glue to wrap the wiring harness. Oops. Don't expect to see any mention of this and a parachute problem in the NASA video, so here's the ARs Technica article https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/06/boeing-stands-down-from-starliner-launch-to-address-recently-found-problems/ Edited December 24, 2023 by DocM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
