Boeing Starliner Rolled to Pad for Launch | International Space Station

The Starliner spacecraft and Atlas V rocket have rolled to the launch pad at United Launch Alliance's Space Launch Complex-41, Cape Canaveral, Florida. The stack stands 172 ft (52 m) tall. Teams rolled the stack on tracks at ~1 mph (1.6 kph) from the Vertical Integration Facility to the launch site. 

This is one of the final milestones before the Crew Flight Test (CFT) launch on May 6, 2024. Starliner will head to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams on board.
