CAPE CANAVERAL, FL - DECEMBER 18: A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeings CST-100 Starliner spacecraft onboard is seen illuminated by spotlights on the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 41 ahead of the Orbital Flight Test mission, Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2019 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. 

Space Station Guys is a group of collective individuals that focus mostly on space, but they are not your average skywatcher as they take photos and videos that bring people meaning and experience. Now, the group recently released a photo of the International Space Station and Boeing Starliner that shows what it looks like from the Earth.

The image shows something that will help people see and visualize what is happening in outer space, as many still speculate that the releases of NASA have some edits in them. At least, the image from Space Station Guys proves that there is a space station out there, and it could be seen from the ground.

It also goes to update on its current events that saw the Starliner docked to the station.

Boeing Starliner: How Important is its Docking?

The Starliner successfully docked on the ISS, and it is an important venture as it brings an expansion to the space program by NASA, focusing on more partners for its mission. The Starliner's capabilities open up many possibilities in the coming years, especially as it moves away from relying on SpaceX alone for bringing astronauts and their materials to space.

NASA's Commercial Crew Mission

NASA and the Commercial Crew is a massive program that aims to integrate private space agencies to take part in the missions towards the space station and bring astronauts along with their cargo to the cosmic location. Here, they would do their missions like research from the orbiting laboratory and monitor other needs of the planet.

SpaceX is one company that already delivered on its end, and Boeing is trailing now because of the many problems that the Starliner spacecraft experienced during its initial testing and checks. In late May, Boeing finally got what it was working hard for in the past months and years, focusing on making Starliner's flight successful in all aspects.

The Commercial Crew program is now complete for its partner space agencies to bring its astronauts to space, with its focus going on different companies to deliver to the ISS whenever they need it. Expect more photos and videos regarding the Starliner and ISS in the future, as it will see more of these like the ones Space Station Guys brought for everyone.
