On June 5, Boeing's manned spacecraft "Starliner" was launched with two American astronauts and docked with the International Space Station on June 6. The "Starliner" was originally scheduled to separate from the space station and return to Earth on June 14, but the return time has been postponed due to problems such as thruster failure and helium leakage that have not been completely resolved. NASA announced on July 18 local time that the engineering team with Boeing is still evaluating the engine test results to develop a plan for the "Starliner" to return to Earth as soon as possible. NASA previously stated that the "Starliner" can dock with the space station for up to 45 days, that is, until July 21, but in special circumstances, it can also rely on backup systems to extend the docking to 90 days. Some American media bluntly stated that Boeing has "systemic quality control problems." The U.S. Capitol Hill Daily bluntly stated that the problems of the "Starliner" should have been discovered and corrected before the manned flight. The frequent accidents of the "Starliner" and Boeing civilian passenger aircraft show that Boeing's systematic quality control problems have not yet been resolved. (@CCTV International News)
