Can Boeing aircraft fly into orbit?

Boeing aircraft are not designed for orbital flight; they are primarily built for atmospheric travel, such as commercial and cargo aviation. While Boeing has experience with space vehicles, like the CST-100 Starliner for crewed missions to the International Space Station, its traditional aircraft cannot achieve the necessary speed and altitude for orbital insertion. Specialized rockets, like those from SpaceX or NASA, are required for launching payloads into orbit.

Will robots be able to fly?

In a sense, modern commercial aircraft and many military fighter aircraft are already flying robotic devices. Built in computer controls fly many of the airplanes that are in the air at this moment, it's called "fly by wire". Some of the fighter aircraft are so difficult to keep in the air, the only way to actually perform that task without tiring out the pilot is to have the computer manage the control surfaces while the pilot only appears to fly the airplane. As for commercial aircraft, auto-pilot is certainly a robotic function.
