Boeing attempts to launch astronauts on new space capsule after delays, aiming to provide backup to SpaceX
Boeing took another crack on June 1 at launching astronauts for the first time aboard its new space capsule, after a delay for leak checks and rocket repairs.
The company's Starliner capsule was due to rocket away at midday with a pair of test pilots to the International Space Station for a weeklong stay.
The test drive should have happened years ago. But problems kept piling up, most recently a leak that went unnoticed until the first launch attempt with a crew in early May.
NASA wants a backup to SpaceX, which has been flying astronauts for four years.
United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket is providing the lift from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
