Bzzzzzzrrrrrrrtttttt... try try again.
Boeing Starliner's 1st astronaut launch delayed again, this time with no new flight date
"The next possible launch opportunity is still being discussed."
A Winning Card of Bullshit Bingo: "The team has been in meetings for two consecutive days, assessing flight rationale, system performance, and redundancy. There is still forward work in these areas, and the next possible launch opportunity is still being discussed," the e-mail update read in part. . . .

Yeesh. At this point do we turn over the whole project over to Richard Branson?

I see what you did there and I do not disagree.
Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
Relocate the project to Western New York. They'll have a Pontiac 6000 and a Bugatti Chiron in orbit by the end of the week.HighPlainsGrifter wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 2:52 pm Yeesh. At this point do we turn over the whole project over to Richard Branson?

I don't know. Someone died at during a Virgin Galactic test flight. Boeing's space unit hasn't killed anyone...yet. Scoreboard: Boeing, I guess.HighPlainsGrifter wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 2:52 pm Yeesh. At this point do we turn over the whole project over to Richard Branson?

SCRUB! Starliner launch attempt called off
United Launch Alliance has called an official scrub while engineers work to understand why a Ground Launch Sequencer called an automatic hold 3 minutes and 50 seconds before liftoff.
There will be no Starliner launch today.
Boeing and ULA may attempt another launch try on Sunday, June 2, if they can clear the issue in time.

I don't see what the big deal is. A computer called it off. Better safe than sorry.

Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
Especially for Boeing right now. They'll scrub a launch for the minutest of reasons. If this thing immolates on national television, Boeing's market cap will be in free fall. They can't chance any little malfunction or they'll get memefucked into bankruptcy court.Screw_Michigan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 7:34 pmI don't see what the big deal is. A computer called it off.

Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
Good call, but NASA in general will scrub launches for the tiniest of reasons. They aren't willing to risk people being blown to smithereens. And nor should they.
Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
It's not a big deal. I was pretty chapped when I posted that, having watched hours of pre-flight, only to have them scrub at -3:50.Screw_Michigan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 7:34 pmI don't see what the big deal is. A computer called it off. Better safe than sorry.
IIRC, if they can't launch tomorrow or Thursday, they may be looking at another indefinite delay, though. That would be a big deal. There is only one docking port on the ISS that's compatible with the Boeing Starliner, and there are other scheduled flights coming up that will have to use it.
Successful or not, millions over budget and years behind schedule is still a big deal. Just get the crew up there and home in one piece already.

Re: Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight
Boeing finally got it right (so far after 21 minutes of flight).
After about 6 minutes of flight one could see the curvature of the Earf in plain sight. Well, most of us....
