"Starliner Crewed Test Flight Delayed to May Due to ISS Schedule Conflicts"

TL;DR Summary
Boeing's CST-100 Starliner crewed test flight has been delayed to early May due to International Space Station scheduling conflicts, rather than issues with the spacecraft itself. The delay is caused by the need to coordinate with other missions to the station, particularly the upcoming SpaceX CRS-30 cargo mission. Once the station is available, the Crew Flight Test mission will launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5, sending NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the ISS for up to two weeks.
