Boeing’s Starliner Delayed — Almost Ready To Launch Nasa Crew

After much waiting, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is almost ready to launch humans to space. This month, the vehicle will lift off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with two NASA astronauts on board, the culmination of a troubled decade of development. Now, Boeing will hope, its own promised era of private human space travel can begin. The Crew Flight Test mission will now launch at the earliest on Friday May 10, NASA says, the original date having been pushed back to allow a valve issue on the launch vehicle to be fixed. That vehicle, an Atlas V rocket, will propel Starliner into space as part of a 25-hour journey to the International Space Station.
