Boeing calls off its first astronaut launch because of valve issue on rocket

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Boeing called off its first astronaut launch because of a valve problem on the rocket Monday night.

The two NASA test pilots had just strapped into Boeing’s Starliner capsule when the countdown was halted, just two hours before the planned liftoff. A United Launch Alliance engineer, Dillon Rice, said the issue involved an oxygen relief valve on the upper stage of the company's Atlas rocket.

Don't wanna kill no spacemen!

Perhaps SpaceX has some suggestions on how to fix the problem(s)?

I’m in Cocoa Beach now too. I would have heard that launch from the VRBO.
