And while the launch was successful, the mission failed as the required boost to reach the correct orbit to dock at the space station didn't happen. So Boeing is now trying to figure out what useful role this mission can achieve then bring it back to the West coast. Boeing did not have a good 2019. This vehicle is supposed to make the US once again able to get astronauts into space instead of using Putin's facilities.
While Boeing will get the software or hardware problem fixed, it was a major failure.
