CAPE CANAVERAL, May 7, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The first crewed launch of Boeing's Starliner spaceship was postponed around two hours before takeoff after a new safety issue was identified, officials said Monday.

"Standing down on tonight's attempt to launch," tweeted NASA chief Bill Nelson. "As I've said before, @NASA 's first priority is safety. We go when we;re ready."
