We mourn the passing of astronaut Bill Anders, lunar module pilot for Apollo 8, and backup pilot for the Gemini XI and Apollo 11 flights. One of the first three people to travel beyond the reach of our Earth and orbit the Moon, Anders took the legendary Earthrise photo. More on

NASA TV broadcast notes that, although there are "a handful of cameras" onboard, Boeing isn't able to relay video until the capsule reaches the ISS. So this is the most we'll see of Starliner for the next 25 hours: https://t.co/wcAdpybUYy $BA

Tim, After a NASA Dr told me that my bad eyesight meant I could never be an astronaut, I started planning how I could someday reach space. After a decade of investing in SpaceHab, EFFORT and numerous others, I learned a path lead by ex-NASA contractors was unlikely. Then I met
And just like that, the dreams of my crew are over. I have such mixed emotions about dearMoon’s cancellation. Of course I’m extremely disappointed, having dreamt about this mission since I first heard about it in 2018 and even more for the last 3 years since the selection

ULA is safing the vehicle. A hold was called at T-3:50, it sounds like it was due to an automatic hold from a ground launch sequencer. Proceeding with scrub operations. Primary focus now is to get the crew out of Calypso and safely on the ground. #Starliner
