This mission is only a few hours away as I write this.

I hope it goes OK.

I'm kind of suprised they are doing an initial test/check out that's manned.

Seems to me higher risk than it may be needed to be but I guess the stakes area high for the vendor and it's way behind schedule... still :(

Man - what an awesome time to be alive... I just missed the space race, and its wild that private companies [if they can be called that] are creating space travel!!

I hope Boeing is investing more resources the these projects that some of their other ones that have been in the news recently...

I watched the launch here and it was a little tense knowing that there's been issues. Then again, I watched 2 space shuttles disintegrate on television.

Agreed, I mean it looked enough like Apollo to recall the fate of Appllo-1.

It's been a tight 48 hours for space flight. A Space-x went up last night, the Starliner this morning and we'll see if Musk can get a little further than a surprised whale and a bowl of petunias tomorrow!

Hey we're about see our second Space Shuttle!

Dream Chaser is supposed to be in Florida to start real flight trials this summer.
