Boeing launched two astronauts into space for the International Space Station on Wednesday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, marking the first crewed launch of the Starliner spacecraft and the second taxi service for NASA joining SpaceX.

The crew Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are expected to spend just over a week at the orbiting lab before climbing back into Starliner for a remote desert touchdown in the western U.S. on June 14.
