Boeing-designed Starliner finally takes off

The Starliner ship designed by Boeing has finally been launched, it took off successfully this Wednesday, it is its first test flight with crew and it has had previous flights with ups and downs, with problems, because this ship has had many problems in its development, it is a ship complex, it has also been very expensive but it is also a complex ship. The SpaceX dragon ship has been working well for several years now, in any case, competition is essential and this is a very good idea and that it succeeds, the test is also good news because at the moment it is going wonderfully, this ship is designed to be able to carry up to seven astronauts, which is outrageous, but up to seven astronauts at a time and remain in orbit for up to 7 months and be reused in up to 10 missions.

Basically its mission is going to be to take astronauts and equipment to the international space station and to future space stations that are built, because the international space station will have its useful life until 2030 or a little longer, then new ones will have to be developed, as much as the international one, that is, both focused on scientific work, as well as private work in the space industry, manufacturing of medicines or manufacturing of substances and also space tourism. There are already a lot of possibilities planned in terms of space stations. At the moment the astronauts have the objective of reaching the international space station, there they will join the seven astronauts who are currently on board the international space station, it is not only a test mission with a human crew to see that everything works well and that the ship can dock, connect with the port of the international space station and can take astronauts safely to the station and then bring them back.

In addition, it will also carry some essential equipment, perhaps it may sound a little ridiculous to you, but it is essential, it will carry a crucial and necessary bomb to repair the urine processor assembly of the space station that failed on the 29th. May and it is something fundamental because the astronauts' urine is all collected and processed to recover the water and it is the water that later becomes drinkable and is the water they use to drink or whatever needs to be done on the space station international, recreating the water cycle but more concentrated.
