As much as I’d love to pile on Boeing, the article states the launch was scrubbed due to an issue with ULA’s rocket not the Boeing capsule payload.

ULA is a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed, however.
But, again, Boeing spacecraft is a very separate division than commercial aircraft.
And even if it was, it would be the right move. The last thing we want is to stop risk management because there's only 2 hours left and the door hasn't fallen off so far.
Hopefully they don't forget to report when Max Q happens.... It's very important to explain what it is. SECO and MECO and the number 7 are also getting up there in importance for space flight.
Yeah they always explain max q lol. I've noticed that
Yes Bob, indeed, for those of you watching at home, Max Q is the name of the guy sitting at the top of the rocket holding the antenna trying to guide the....no wait, it's when the vehicle is going through the maximum aerodynamic pressure state. That's right! It's Rick, Rick Peterman holding up the antenna this morning. Back to you guys in the studio!
The Kennedy Space Center has this flight reset for 10May2024, this Friday! Can't imagine how the astronauts feel, having the mission scrubbed whilst all strapped in, told to go home and maybe they'll shoot you into space in the next few days 😅
Only to go home and see news articles about Boeing whistleblowers dying.
Knowing what happened to the Challenger after they had an oxygen valve problem, I imagine some degree of relief.
That is a NET (no earlier then) time, not a guarenteed date.
That damned door wouldn't stay shut. They might need to put a cinder block against it or something.
Or wedge it closed with an inanimate carbon rod.
I've been saying this for years now. Boeing is going to kill NASA astronauts if they are allowed to get their way.
It wasn't the space craft it was a valve on the centaur upper stage (second stage)
People already are forgetting about Boeings space capsule test
First one failed, but they redid it and it docked
Exactly. It was a fault on the rocket, which was manufactured by ULA, a joint venture between Lockheed and Boeing....oh, crap
ULA makes that atlas v rocket by themselves boeing just bought a atlas v
But Boeing owns 50% of ULA. Buying from ULA is just buying from Boeing with extra steps
I'm not getting in to another argument with people on the Internet good day sir
