Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 108, The Boeing Starliner.

I'm Dan Hewitt and I'll be your host today. On this podcast, we bring in the experts, NASA scientists, engineers, astronauts

and leaders to tell you all the coolest parts about NASA. We're close to launching astronauts

from American soil with two different vehicles developed by two different companies, Boeing and SpaceX.

It's all part of the commercial crew program, designed to enable the capability of launching people into space by private businesses.

Today we're going to highlight one of those vehicles, the Boeing Starliner.

In the studio, we brought in Tony Castieja and Salina Doppart.

Tony and Salina are engineers with Boeing responsible for getting the

spacecraft and the crew ready for these first missions.

We talk about the vehicle itself, all of the testing and all the training happening, and what

we're going to be looking forward to in the very near future.

So with no further delay, let's go light speed and jump right

ahead to our talk with Tony and Salina. Enjoy. T-Minais-T minus by seconds and county.

Mark.

Now, long she goes.

A long, she goes. I'm asking that light sir, correct.

Here she goes.

Isn't, we have a podcast.

All right, I have Tony and Selina from Boeing with me today. Thank you guys so much for taking a little bit of your day to join me today. This is an exciting time. We got a new spacecraft coming right?

Oh absolutely it's the best time to work in aerospace. We're happy to be here. We're

training our astronauts today. Excited to be here today.
