CST-100 On Display

Boeing opened its new private spacecraft, the CST-100, to NASA and the media yesterday.  Two astronauts in pressure spacesuits were strapped into the pilots' seats of the capsule.  Their assignment was to evaluate the interior design of the ship from the crew's perspective.

The CST-100 is designed to ferry humans to and from ISS, and eventually to and from private space stations.  Boeing plans the first orbital test flight of the craft for 2016.
