1. The first paragraph of a news article should answer the questions who, what, where and when. List the who, what, where and when of this news story. (NOTE: The remainder of a news article provides details on the why and/or how.)

2. a) What is a maiden voyage?
b) What caused the maiden voyage of Boeing's Starliner to fail?

3. What contingency plan is NASA considering?

4. Steve Stich, NASA’s Commercial Crew Program manager “We need to probably decide, likely in the middle of August, one path or the other to go ahead and meet the launch date for Crew-9.” It was reported in July that the astronauts would be home by August. What is your response to the delays? (NASA knows best - they're working as fast as they can - too many delays - just bring them home...) Explain your answer.

5. On July 25, the Post reported: "Mark Nappi, manager of the Boeing Starliner program, said Boeing ultimately regrets announcing that Wilmore and Williams’ mission would be eight days, as the delays have garnered backlash against the troubled aerospace giant. 'My regret is that we didn’t say we would stay up there until the mission is complete, but I’m very confident we have a good vehicle to bring the crew back.'
What do you think of Mr. Nappi's statement?
