The much-delayed mission comes at a challenging time for Boeing, as a safety crisis engulfs the century-old aerospace titan's commercial aviation arm.
NASA is banking on Starliner's success in order to achieve its goal of certifying a second commercial vehicle to carry crews to the ISS, which it has sought since the last space shuttle flew in 2011.
A successful mission would help dispel the bitter taste left by numerous setbacks in the Starliner program.
Boeing has become a joke.

Immigration reduces wages and the evidence is indisputable.
One report by the National Academy of Sciences shows that, on average, each 1% increase in immigrant workers reduces the wages of Americans by 0.3%.
Another study has shown that each 1% increase in immigrant workers decreases wages by 0.8%.
Even the libertarian CATO institution has been forced to admit that immigration reduces wages, though they largely view this as a positive thing.
There are many reasons for the poor wages in the United States, but the massive, unceasing, immigration is a major constituent part.

Schools in Germany will start teaching Ukrainian as a second foreign language, — DW.
Hesse intends to become the first federal state in Germany to introduce Ukrainian as a second foreign language in schools. In order to do this, the state ministry of religious affairs, which is also responsible for education and culture, announced a competition on May 24 to fill vacancies for future specialists and teachers. The study of Ukrainian in Hesse's schools is to begin in the next school year (2024/2025).
Ukrainian will first be a pilot project: the first schools with many Ukrainian students are to start the trial phase next school year. A similar pilot project is currently being implemented with the Turkish language.

📡 The accuracy of some Western weapons has decreased due to Russian electronic warfare (EW), reports The Washington Post.
As a result, Kyiv has stopped using certain weapons that rely on satellite guidance, such as Excalibur projectiles and HIMARS systems.
An American official stated that the US is equipping HIMARS with additional equipment to ensure accurate targeting. One way Ukrainians counter Russian EW is by using drones to target enemy positions before firing.

The head of NATO believes it is time to lift the restriction on the use of weapons provided to Ukraine.
"This is an aggressive war by Russia against Ukraine. Ukraine has the right to defend itself, and this includes attacks on targets on Russian territory," Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with The Economist.
"The time has come for the allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have placed on the use of the weapons they have provided to Ukraine. But we will not directly participate from NATO territory in combat operations over or on the territory of Ukraine. Especially now, when in Kharkiv, close to the border, there is a lot of fighting going on, due to the fact that Ukraine does not have the ability to use these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory, it is very difficult for it to defend itself."
Stoltenberg emphasized that NATO has no intention of sending Alliance ground troops to Ukraine.
"Because our goal... was twofold: to support Ukraine, as we do, but also to ensure that we do not turn this into a full-scale conflict. We will not be a party to the conflict," the Secretary General said.
In the interview, Stoltenberg also warned Russia that cyber attacks could trigger Article 5 if they were serious:
"If it's large... then we can invoke Article 5 and respond not only in cyberspace but also in other domains to protect NATO allies."

"What is also eye-rolling about all of this is that the US, Poland, and the rest of Europe combined could not defeat Russia in a war. We’ve already seen how the US and its vassal states combined cannot keep up with Russia’s production of weapons for the war in Ukraine. Yet the Poles still think that a new Maginot Line will somehow save them in a war with Russia. Wouldn’t it just make more sense to be friends and trading partners with Russia, instead of demonizing it and turning it into an enemy?"

TIL 'Botanical sexism' refers to the practice of preferentially planting cloned male plants in urban areas to avoid the litter of fruits and flowers. However, since male plants produce pollen, this can lead to high pollen levels in the air, making the area inhospitable for people with allergies.

Strike On Russian Strategic Early Warning Radar Site Is A Big Deal
"Satellite imagery confirms a Russian strategic early warning radar site in the southwestern end of the country was substantially damaged in a reported Ukrainian drone attack earlier this week. This looks to be a first-of-its-kind attack on a site linked to Russia's general strategic defense. As such, it points to a new and worrisome dimension to the conflict, especially when it comes to the potential use of nuclear weapons."
