TL;DR

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is set for its first crewed launch to the ISS on June 1, 2024, despite recent delays and a minor helium leak. The mission will also deliver a replacement urine pump to the ISS, necessitating the removal of astronauts' spare clothes to balance cargo weight. The launch aims to certify Starliner for future operational missions.
