Well seems like I have my cameo right at the beginning giving a go for launch.
See #Starliner commander Butch Wilmore and pilot @Astro_Suni during the ascent phase of the Crew Flight Test. Hear the astronauts from inside the cabin during their flight to the @Space_Station.

#Starliner ascends to the heavens!
Congratulations to @NASA, @BoeingSpace, and @ulalaunch. Today's launch is a milestone achievement for the future of spaceflight.
Butch and Suni—safe travels through the stars. See you back home.
Thanks for the great ride, ULA!
United Launch Alliance successfully launches the first crewed #Starliner! This inaugural human spaceflight launch marks the beginning of a new era for ULA and extends the Atlas legacy, echoing the launch of U.S. astronaut John Glenn aboard a heritage Atlas rocket from Cape Canaveral, in 1962. newsroom.ulalaunch.com/relea…

Steve Stich cuts Tory Bruno’s tie after the post-launch press conference to mark ULA’s entry into the “human spaceflight club.”

A very successful mission dress rehearsal is complete! This was the last integrated training event before launch. I was fortunate to be able to observe the crew with @AstroIronMike while @Saturn_Flight led the MCC activities. Go #Starliner! Go CFT!

Earthset. 🌎
@NASA_Orion captured this shot of Earth “setting” while the spacecraft passed close to the Moon. Nearly 270,000 miles (430,000 km) away, #Artemis I will soon surpass Apollo 13’s record-setting distance from Earth in a spacecraft designed to carry astronauts.
ALT The Orion spacecraft captures an image of Earth setting behind the Moon. The metallic grey and white structure of the spacecraft dominates the left side of the image. To the far right, the dusty grey surface of the Moon looms large beside the small blue and white Earth in the far distance. The background of the image is the dark blackness of space. No stars are visible as the high contrast of the Moon and Orion spacecraft wash out the distant stars. Credit: NASA
Thank you @BoeingSpace for the nice piece, almost as nice as the #Starliner we get to fly.
The #Starliner team is grateful to have @Carbon_Flight, @Saturn_Flight, Redstone Flight and Lion Flight bring their expertise to future @Commercial_Crew missions through this unique agreement.

Why thank you! It was a fun machine to fly!
Teamwork/Dreamwork
Thank you to some of the best in the biz: the flight directors @Saturn_Flight, @Carbon_Flight, Redstone Flight and Lion Flight! We are grateful for the hard work and dedication you show daily and for the combined efforts it took to make #OFT2 a success.

Fueling of the #AtlasV first stage is underway at Space Launch Complex-41. The launch team is pumping 25,000 gallons of storable, room-temperature RP-1 fuel, a highly refined kerosene, into the rocket for Thursday's #Starliner launch. bit.ly/av_oft-2

Thursday's precise liftoff time has been established for #AtlasV to send #Starliner capsule on its journey to the @Space_Station. Based on latest calculations of when the station's orbital plane passes over the pad, launch will occur at 6:54:47 p.m. EDT (2254:47 UTC).
ULAs VALOR room provides outstanding support to Mission Control during powered flight. A little piece of Mission Control in Denver....

Apparently Santa visited the Space Station this morning when I was in charge. He violated several flight rules by entering the Approach Ellipsoid and Keep out Sphere without permission from MCC. In consideration of gifts for my kids, will look the other way. – at Houston, TX
Lots of traffic signal boxes are painted in Houston, but just saw this one at Memorial City/I-10. Nice!
Great shot!
Our WV3 #satellite collected imagery this morning, May 23rd, of @NASAKennedy's Launch Pad 39A as @NASA prepares for its 1st crewed flight in nearly a decade. On May 27th, a spacecraft with astronauts @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken is scheduled to be launched by a Falcon 9 rocket.
