The "Cutting Edge" series features an early concept illustration of the Boeing Crew Space Transportation (CST-100), renamed Starliner on September 4, 2015.

The first uncrewed Orbital Flight Test of Starliner Spacecraft 3 Calypso was conducted December 20–22, 2019. The unnamed Starliner Spacecraft 2 successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on May 21, 2022.

The first Boeing Crewed Flight Test (Boe-CFT) began on June 5, 2024. NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams launched atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Calypso successfully docked with the ISS on June 6, 2024.

Helium leaks and issues with the Reaction Control System engines are being evaluated by NASA and Boeing engineers. Calypso returned to Earth without any passengers on September 7, 2024. Wilmore and Williams are scheduled to return on the SpaceX Crew Dragon 2 Endeavour in February 2025.
