NASA's Starliner Delayed

  • 10 months ago
Boeing has announced another delay to the first crewed launch of its Starliner spacecraft, following the discovery of two new issues with the capsule. The scheduled launch on July 21 was to transport NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. Still, issues with the safety of the parachute systems and the flammability of a specific tape have caused further delays. This marks another disruption for Starliner's first crewed flight, which has already been postponed from an initial target of April. Despite these setbacks and financial losses of $833 million over two years, Boeing remains committed to completing the Starliner spacecraft for NASA.
