"An oxygen relief valve on the rocket's Centaur second stage is giving them some problems so standing down out of "an abundance of caution."

Delayed till May 17? Incredible. They're a corporation, not a government agency.

Boeing Starliner has slipped until Tues, May 21, at 4:43 pm for the launch of their Crewed Flight Test.

The reason for this latest delay is a helium leak discovered inside the spacecraft's service module.

The rate of the leak is thought to be within acceptable limits for flight, but they want to be certain.

I'm starting to think Starliner is cursed

When Commercial Crew started, SpaceX were the crazy Science-Fiction Nuts, while Boeing was the Evil Empire. I was 100% pro-SpaceX.

But my Schadenfreude has run dry and turned to dust. I just feel sorry for Boeing now.
