Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) spacecraft blasted into orbit and began racing toward the International Space Station, despite facing an issue with two of the thrusters the vehicle uses, reported WSJ.
Later Thursday, Boeing and NASA officials revealed that two of the thrusters used to maneuver the Starliner in orbit had failed. According to Mark Nappi, Boeing's vice president focused on the Starliner program; after those failures, a third thruster activated, allowing the vehicle to complete a key maneuver.
