TL;DR Summary

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is grounded indefinitely due to safety concerns with the capsule's parachutes and wiring. The anomalies, which were discovered last week, were discussed during a press conference Thursday night, during which NASA and Boeing announced the Starliner's first planned crewed flight was on hold. That launch, which has faced many delays and setbacks, was slated to blast off to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 21. Now officials are not certain whether it will get off the ground at all this year.
