Thomas Pesquet
[edit]Speaking for ESA, I suggest to delete Thomas Pesquet from the Crew Section. In view of the known delays in context of the USCV programme, it has not yet been decided to which flight it will be assigned. However, it is clear that he will be the next ESA astronaut to fly to the ISS, after Luca Parmitano.

He is assigned now to SpaceX Crew-2. Launch scheduled for March 30, 2021 UnitedFarmingInc (talk) 06:58, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Crew Vehicle
[edit]USCV-2 will be the second US crew vehicle to fly to the ISS, and since Boeing won't be ready (as of May 30, 2020, Boeing hasn't even flown OFT-2 let alone CFT) to fly a crew until 2021, this will be a SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle. The article (along with those of USCV-3 and USCV-4) should be rewritten accordingly. USCV-2 will be SpaceX, USCV-3 will be Boeing, and then the two companies should alternate after that. -- Wizardimps (talk) 03:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- A few years ago, the first CCP mission was supposed to go to Boeing, all the way up until OFT-1 failed. These should be named with the manufacturer name missions (like SpaceX SpX-6 instead of CRS-6; Orb-6; SpaceX CCP mission 6 or Boeing CCP mission 6) -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 05:58, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
SpaceX usually calls their missions Crew-N. UnitedFarmingInc (talk) 07:01, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Russia comments
[edit]Pointless and not true, just more proof of how political even Wikipedia has gotten. Russia litterally just allowed a cosmonaut to launch on Crew 5. If Russia wouldn't allow a cosmonaut on Starliner it's because of the risk to human life, not an invasion or geopolitics. 162.221.219.36 (talk) 20:14, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
Jeanette Epps
[edit]Eric Berger has tweeted that she is transferred to Crew-8. Hektor (talk) 06:43, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Handling the uncertainty about this flight
[edit]We have a problem. Starliner-1 is no longer well defined. It was to be the first flight after CFT and also the first operational crewed Starliner CCP mission. This is no longer certain or even likely. I modified the lede to reflect this. Unfortunately, this has ramifications for many of the pages that links to this article. Since this is a mess and the situation should resolve in the next few months, I propose that we leave those articles mostly unmodified for now, and just hope the readers follow the link and read the lede. -Arch dude (talk) 16:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
