Boeing's Starliner launch delayed again for parachute and certification issues.
TL;DR Summary
NASA and Boeing have delayed the first crewed flight of the Starliner spacecraft to no earlier than July 21 due to the extra time needed to close out the pre-flight review process of Starliner and also due to traffic from other vehicles visiting the space station in June and the first half of July. The delay is also due to the certification products for the parachute system, which is the final test to be completed on the ground. This will be the third flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
