Starliner is only days away from its first crewed launch however it’s running into a few complications. Earlier this month on the 8th was the spacecraft’s first launch attempt that was eventually scrubbed due to a valve problem not with the spacecraft but with the rocket. Fortunately for crews, while work was going on related to the Atlas V, an issue with Starliner was discovered.
This initially pushed the launch date back to an unknown date but has since been rescheduled for June 1st, in only a few days. The specific issue has to do with a helium leak in the reaction control system of Starliner. Interestingly, they might end up just leaving the leak and launching anyway. Here I will go more in-depth into the new launch date, the decision to leave the spacecraft as is, chances of more delays, and more.
