Following a series of issues with the Starliner spacecraft, Boeing has undergone significant leadership changes. The aerospace company announced that it is replacing the head of its division responsible for the construction and deployment of the Starliner. This change follows a series of technical and logistical problems that have plagued the spacecraft.

In a related move, Ted Colbert has stepped down as the CEO of Boeing's defense and space sector. This leadership shake-up comes at a critical time as Boeing opts to return its astronauts aboard SpaceX's spacecraft in February 2025, a delay of eight months from the original schedule.

Moreover, Boeing CEO has stated that resolving the issues surrounding the Starliner and ending ongoing strikes remains a top priority for the company. The continued operational and scheduling difficulties have prompted a focused effort on troubleshooting and strategic restructuring within the firm to ensure future missions are successful.

This series of developments highlights Boeing's challenges in maintaining its commitments and addressing the setbacks that have impacted its timetable and operations.
