Boeing's Starliner Crewed Test Flight Aborted Minutes Before Launch

TL;DR Summary
Boeing's first crewed test flight of the Starliner capsule was postponed just minutes before launch due to a computer-abort system triggering an automatic halt. The delay adds to a series of technical issues and setbacks for the mission, which aims to send two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The next potential launch windows are June 5 and June 6, but no new date has been set. This mission is crucial for Boeing as it seeks to compete with SpaceX in NASA's commercial crew program.
