A discussion is under way at Talk:SpX-DM1#Requested move 27 February 2019 that also affects this article. Please participate in that discussion, after which this page and Boe-CFT will probably need to be renamed for consistency with whatever is decided. Rosbif73 ( talk) 08:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) B dash ( talk) 00:17, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
– While the missions may have been acronymically known as "Boe-OFT" and "Boe-CFT" internally by NASA, contemporary internal documentation now refers to Boeing by its full name without hyphens, designating the missions as "Boeing OFT" or "Orbital Flight Test", and "Boeing CFT" or "Crewed Flight Test" [1] [2]. The full name of the missions would be both precise enough by Wikipedia's standards, and would be the commonly recognisable names. For the Boeing Orbital Test Flight, it is also the official name. For Boeing Crewed Test Flight, while NASA has recently opted to use "Crew" instead of "Crewed" [3], it seems the latter is more commonly used, with SpaceNews [4], Bloomberg [5], GeekWire [6], Houston Chronicle [7], and CNBC [8]. – PhilipTerryGraham ( talk · articles · reviews) 00:35, 17 March 2019 (UTC)--Relisting.

NASA will give us a new schedule soon, but expect this flight not before August and the crewed flight not before November. reuters -- mfb ( talk) 06:41, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Boeing had to update the software in flight, otherwise they would likely have lost the capsule when trying to land. This is a separate issue and completely absent from the article so far. News articles:

As stated in the second paragraph of this Article, Boeing has decided to redo the Orbital Flight Test sometime in October or November of 2020. This will mean that this Article will have to be amended adequately to reflect this fact. Someone with sufficient information ought to do the needful.
