Happy Birthday John Lennon.

”If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that… I believe in what I do, and I’ll say it.”

Boeing unveils Starliner as official name of CST-100 spacecraft.

In a ceremony Friday at Kennedy Space Center’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (formerly Orbiter Processing Facility 3), Boeing announced the official name of their crew-capable spacecraft formerly known as the CST-100.

Dubbed Starliner, the name builds on Boeing’s previous vehicle naming heritage, which includes Stratoliner and Dreamliner. Starliner will transport crews of four astronauts to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew program.

Additionally, Boeing also dubbed the C3PF’s renovations complete at the ceremony, which now officially ready to build Starliner spacecrafts.

Technicians are currently building the CST-100 Starliner’s Structural Test Article within the facility. Flight articles will begin to be assembled in 2016 ahead of their inaugural flights in 2017.

The company will perform final assembly and testing of Starliner at the C3PF in a similar way to Orion’s processing flow at the Operations and Checkout building. Following checkout, the spacecraft and attached service trunk will be transported to SLC-41 for integration atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 521 rocket.

Y entonces, un día, llegó una criatura cuyo material genético no era muy diferente de las estructuras moleculares reproductoras de cualquier otra clase de organismos del planeta, que dicha criatura llamó Tierra. Pero era capaz de reflexionar sobre el misterio de su origen, de estudiar el extraño y tortuoso sendero por el cual había surgido desde la materia estelar. Era el material del Cosmos contemplándose a sí mismo. Consideró la enigm��tica y problemática cuestión de su futuro. Se llamó a si mismo humano. Y ansió regresar a las estrellas.
