“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” -Booker T. Washington 1901
The @BoeingSpace #Starliner spacecraft completed the first touchdown on land of a human-rated space capsule in U.S. history today at 7:58am ET. Read more... go.nasa.gov/34HNV80
ISS just passed over #Starliner landing site. You can see the bright dot above and left of the moon! 2 #NASA destinations in on iPhone shot!
Awesome conclusion to the first Starliner mission. Landed within a few hundred meters of target. Systems checked out very well. No dock.... but many flight test objectives complete. This was a great @BoeingSpace day!
I’m waiting for the official statistics from CST-100 but it appears the touchdown was about 9,000 feet past the threshold of runway 17 and the rollout distance was about 3 inches. Speedbrakes were fully open on final approach. Just an old shuttle guy doing comparisons 😉
As I love the Ocean so much to and very lucky to live beside it. This is for you @Astro_Suni as you named & will command 'Calypso' on its next flight #Starliner #Boeing @BoeingSpace 🌊🛰️ #astronaut_Hayden 👨🚀 🚀 👨🚀
Rosie's home!! #GoStarliner!! A beautiful sight from our NASA-TV control room in Mission Control Houston. Live landing and recovery coverage all the way down!! Proud moment for @BoeingSpace. Welcome home, Calypso. 🤩🚀👩🚀@Astro_Suni @_carriearnold
Congratulations to the #Starliner landing and recovery team and to the thousands of people who helped make this mission possible. We test, we learn, we build the future together.
.@BoeingSpace’s CST-100 #Starliner spacecraft landed gently today at 7:58am ET setting the stage for future crewed landings at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. nasa.gov/press-release/…
Although #Starliner didn’t reach its intended orbit & dock to @Space_Station, it did complete many test objectives: ✅ Successful launch & landing ✅ Checked propulsion systems ✅ Tested space-to-space communications & @NASA’s Docking System ✅ & more! go.nasa.gov/2saMtOh
@NASA @BoeingSpace Orbit is hard. Best wishes for landing & swift recovery to next mission.
Starliner is in an unplanned, but safe orbit. (@ulalaunch Atlas 5 worked perfectly). Looking at options and landing early is one of them... headed to NM to join the recovery team. Ops team doing an outstanding job putting Starliner in position for all options.
We are go for launch! Go #AtlasV! Go #Centaur! Go #Starliner!
