Boeing has postponed the first manned flight of the Starliner spacecraft to Wednesday

Boeing Starliner with crew on board failed to take off again. The company has rescheduled the spacecraft's launch for next Wednesday (or Thursday).

Here's What We Know

NASA and Boeing cancelled the launch last weekend due to problems with ground systems. That happened on Saturday, but a repeat launch attempt on Sunday also failed.

The Crew Flight Test mission is expected to launch on Wednesday. Boeing has also booked Thursday morning for the launch of the spacecraft, which will be sent into space using a ULA Atlas V rocket. It will take off from the Cape Canaveral Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Crew Flight Test mission will carry astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams to the International Space Station. The flight will be the culmination of Boeing's efforts to build a spacecraft to rival Starship.
