Long-delayed Boeing Starliner ready for first piloted flight to the International Space Station
Wilmore and Williams are well suited to take the Starliner for its first piloted test drive. Both are former Navy test pilots and two of NASA's most seasoned astronauts with four space flights, 11 spacewalks and 500 days in orbit between them. Both have flown to space aboard the space shuttle and Russia's Soyuz crew ferry ship.
