Atlas systems, propulsion, go. Hydraulic, go. Pneumatic, go. Go Atlas. Go Centaur. Go Starliner.
Five, four, three, two, one, and liftoff. Starliner is headed back to space
on the shoulders of Atlas, powered by a workforce dedicated to its success.
We had the privilege and the honor of watching Starliner arrive. It was
really spectacular to see this beautiful vehicle arrive. This is a momentous day
in NASA's history and just paving the way for the future as we start enabling commercial flights
here in low-Earth orbit while NASA pivots to the Moon and eventually on to Mars.
The journey has been hard, but the reward is what we see today as our teams work together
to meet the promise of advancement offered in low-Earth orbit. This connection is the
first of many that will continue for years to come. No one goes to space alone, and we can all
benefit from the efforts involved. Undocking complete. A little sad to see her go, but
looks like a successful mission so far. Godspeed, Starliner. And touchdown, Starliner. We're touching
down in the desert of New Mexico, marking the completion of Orbital Flight Test 2. And that
touchdown coming at 5.49 p.m. Central Time, almost exactly six days into the mission. Oh my.
I mean, we all tracked towards the, from the beginning, from launch, all the way through
the mission, and this is what we were hoping for at the end, right? I mean, a soft, safe landing,
culmination of all the hard work. I mean, you've got to give a huge congratulations
to the folks at Boeing. You couldn't ask for more.
