In this video, we discuss Boeing's Starliner, and the OFT-2 mission. OFT-2 is the Orbital Flight Test 2, which is one of NASA's requirements for Boeing to certify the Starliner Spacecraft. The video includes an overview of the launch, docking with the international space station, and landing on Earth.
The video looks into the successes, and failures of some systems onboard the spacecraft. The flight test as a whole resulted in a success, but there were a few hiccups along the way. Two OMAC engines ended up failing, and RCS thrusters stopped working for a part of the flight. The video goes into further detail regarding the flight process.

Thanks for watching! When do you think Starliner will launch again?
I guess it will fly before the next spacex crew mission
Your videos came very late
As always a great video! And an awesome new intro :)
Great video.
yes
want videos for atlas rocket
Awesome dude, a really really clear video and great content. Honestly a perfect video on the topic
Thank you!
I really love the content of your videos..
Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos!
Good video Martin.
It also had a off center image software problem before docking.
I've always been more than willing to do crazy stuff. Hell, I chose a submarine for a career then went and played with nuclear materials. And I'd love to be an astronaut and even do a 1-way to Mars. But I'd hesitate if it was in a spacecraft made by Boeing. They went from a great company doing amazing things and creating the most iconic aircraft in history to basically a dumpster fire. Even the terms "overbudget and past the due date" come from Boeing's contracts. That's what you get when you use the same company over and over and don't really question what has changed at that company. The only surprising part of this whole mission was it didn't blow up.
Nobody should be surprised that they had not one, but two thrusters fail on this mission. The attitude there is poor. Lackadaisical engineering, back-stabbing and finger-pointing environment at the company, and willingly taking advantage of government contracts are how Boeing operates. Their bottom line literally is based on lying to NASA and the DOD. I guarantee they spent more money on K street than they did on any aspect of engineering this spacecraft. Get the contract and take as long as possible to fulfill it is the Boeing way now.

Does it have an on-board toilet with curtain?
Very good and informative
Just one correction that CFT will have 3 crew
and Starliner has a future with CLD stations like orbital reef in addition to CCP for ISS
Wait - a total of 4 thrusters failed?
Yep, but they were able to recover the 2 RCS thrusters after undocking from the ISS
The first Starliner almost didn't make it back in one piece. This one did but they had problems that would have had a crew biting their nails, a malfunction of the the thermal control system, the thrusters, and the docking mechanism. These were all systems basic to the flight and after 60 odd years of space flight should have the bugs worked out.
Love the animation, but BRING BACK THE OPENING MUSIC 😫. Tooo many pr😅blend with this launch. If Dragon had these problems, they would ground it for a long time. But because this is Boeing, NASA wants to OVERLOOK some these issues. They will NOT retry with people till next year.
I'm fine with the new music.
Boeing = $$$ > Safety. I would never trust them again.
Your thumbs up button don't seem to work
Boeing ...With it's decades of experience and money they still can't get it right. Yes one would expect development snags, but this bloated Government contractor with more money than carter has pills is really losing its former reputation big time. Maybe Elon just has smarter engineers. Boeing is left with the bottom 1/4 of the graduates.
