1st Boeing Starliner crewed launch delayed to May 6 for ISS operations optimization.

The first crewed launch of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, originally scheduled for May 1, has been delayed to no earlier than May 6 due to a review of the International Space Station's operations. The launch will carry NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to the ISS. The delay optimizes the space station's schedule, allowing for a cargo spacecraft undocking and a crew spacecraft port relocation required for Starliner docking.
