Boeing's Starliner Program Facing Significant Losses

Boeing's Starliner program has accumulated a substantial $1.6 billion in losses, with an additional $125 million recently added. Progress towards launching crew rotation flights to the ISS has been delayed by potential setbacks like degraded thrusters and helium leaks.

Despite promising results from recent tests, uncertainty looms over the program's future. NASA's pending final readiness review aims to determine the Starliner's return date to Earth, highlighting the ongoing challenges Boeing faces in recovering from setbacks and financial losses.
