If all goes well and the flight goes well, SpaceX will conduct the first manned mission capsules in July 2019, a month later than originally planned. NASA hopes to get certificates and Crew Dragon Starliner for delivering astronauts to the ISS at the end of this year. When this happens, the agency will be able to finally return manned missions to American soil and cease to rely on the Russian "Soyuz".
