What SpaceX Dragon just Did completely End Boeing Starliner...Never Launch Again!
The Starliner saga is nearing its conclusion as SpaceX has launched a Dragon spacecraft to retrieve the astronauts who have been stranded in orbit aboard Boeing’s infamous spacecraft for months.
To be fair, this is great news for everyone—especially SpaceX—but a devastating blow for Boeing. This moment all but seals Boeing’s fate in the spacecraft manufacturing industry, marking what could be the definitive end of the Starliner program.
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
What SpaceX Dragon just Did completely End Boeing Starliner...Never Launch Again!
On the evening of the 14th, a Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched four astronauts into orbit, marking the official start of the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station.
While every crewed launch is a significant milestone, this mission carries even greater importance, as its success paves the way for NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to finally return home after spending nine months in space.
Friday’s launch followed an initial attempt on Wednesday night, which was called off due to a hydraulic issue with the ground support system handling the Falcon 9 at Launch Complex 39A in Florida. However, no technical issues arose on the actual launch day. Under clear skies, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov reached orbit without incident.

Upon arrival at the space station, the Crew-10 astronauts will take part in a handover ceremony with the departing Crew-9 team, which includes Wilmore and Williams. If all goes as planned, Crew-9 could leave the station as early as Wednesday, March 19—weather permitting—for a splashdown off the Florida coast.
Although NASA has yet to officially confirm the return timeline, there is growing urgency to bring the crew back to Houston as soon as possible. The prolonged Starliner mission, along with its entangled political and bureaucratic complications, has remained a source of controversy.
For Boeing, this is yet another major setback—not just for Starliner’s reputation but for its future viability. The program’s financial troubles continue to mount, delivering the aerospace giant an unwelcome gift it certainly didn’t ask for.
