The Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 is designed to carry a crew of seven, can launch on Delta IV as shown here in this artist's depiction and will provide a commercial transportation service for NASA back and forth to the International Space Station. Boeing also plans to use the CST-100 spacecraft to support Bigelow Aerospace's Orbital Space Complex. In addition, Space Adventures will sell unused seats for flights to low Earth orbit.

The sooner Boeing is replaced by Spacex the better. Boeing is on of the biggest rip-off artists of the aerospace industry. Overpriced and shitty rockets compared to what's on the table now.
Boeing needs to die, and SOON!

I don't. You can't shut it off, which makes launch abort more complicated.

I actually like nasa's idea of using an srb from the shuttle as the first stage. no pumps to fail etc. then a liquid second stage.

So they are going with the Delta after they spent all that NASA money studying the man-rating potential of the Atlas?
Anyway, it may not say Pan-Am on the side but there is something cool about seeing Boeing on the side of a spacecraft.
