Boeing's Crewed Starliner Flight to ISS Delayed to June
TL;DR Summary
Boeing's first crewed flight to the International Space Station with the Starliner capsule has been rescheduled to early June due to a small helium leak in the propulsion system. Despite the leak, intensive reviews by Boeing and NASA have confirmed the capsule's safety for the mission, which will carry astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. This will be the third test flight for Starliner, following previous uncrewed missions in 2019 and 2022.
