Boeing's Starliner spacecraft faces ongoing safety concerns and delays.

TL;DR Summary
NASA and Boeing have postponed the first crewed Starliner flight, which was scheduled for July, due to issues with the spacecraft's parachute system and flammable tape used to protect wires. The delay is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Starliner program, which has been plagued by problems since its first flight in 2019. The delay leaves SpaceX as the only company to accomplish NASA's Commercial Crew Program objectives, and NASA is now scrambling to find a second provider for crew transportation.
