From Ars Technica:
"Ground teams on Florida's Space Coast hoisted Boeing's Starliner spacecraft atop its United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket this week, putting all the pieces in place for liftoff next month with two veteran NASA astronauts on a test flight to the International Space Station."

"Wilmore and Williams are in the final stages of training for the test flight, set for launch May 6 at 10:34 pm EDT (02:34 UTC on May 7) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station."
