Around-the-clock work to fix valve problems that derailed an August 3 attempt to launch Boeing's Starliner crew capsule on an unpiloted test flight was called off Friday, delaying another try until after NASA launches a higher-priority asteroid probe in mid October.
Despite the team's eagerness to fly, "we have to have the maturity to stop, investigate and sit before flying again," said Kathy Lueders, NASA's chief of space operations. "And that is what we are doing. We fly when we are ready." "I know this is very, very hard on our NASA-Boeing team, but I'm very proud of them for how diligently and carefully they've been working. ... We're going to go fix this problem. And we're going to move forward."
