Boeing's Inaugural Astronaut Flight Delayed at Last Minute

The launch countdown for Boeing's Starliner space capsule on its inaugural crewed test flight was halted twice due to technical issues. Initially, the countdown was paused at three minutes and 50 seconds prior to liftoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Technicians rushed to the pad to assist astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams out of the capsule. The hatch was reopened within an hour of the launch abort. Later, the countdown was halted again due to an unspecified technical issue, triggering an automatic abort command just four minutes prior to liftoff. The mission has been postponed for at least 24 hours, with no clear reason given for the issues.
