Boeing postponed its first astronaut launch due to a valve issue, delaying its crew flight.
Boeing postponed its first astronaut launch on Monday due to a valve issue with the rocket, just two hours before the planned liftoff. The problem involved an oxygen relief valve on the upper stage of the Atlas rocket. The two NASA test pilots were strapped into the Starliner capsule when the countdown was halted. This marks another delay for Boeing's first crew flight, which has faced capsule issues in the past.
