"Boeing and NASA have announced that they are calling off the planned test flight of the Starliner spacecraft, which is designed to ferry astronauts between Earth and the International Space Station. The Starliner had remained at the launch site in United Launch Alliance’s Vertical Integration Facility in hopes of a quick fix to a value issue, but now the Starliner will be moved back to a Boeing facility for further work."

I confidently predict failure for Boeing’s Starliner.

 

Do feel free to inquire of the old spikemeister why he makes such a grim prognostication.  Hint: there’s more to it than a bad valve.
