Boeing's Starliner spacecraft's first crewed flight test postponed again: The first crewed flight test of the spaceship designed by US-based aerospace company Boeing to transport people to the International Space Station (ISS) and other low Earth orbit destinations has been postponed once again. In a statement made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it is stated that investigations continue regarding the helium leak detected earlier, and experts assessed the performance and safety protocols of the spacecraft for 2 days. The statement also said, "Work in this area is still ongoing. The next possible launch date is still being evaluated. As a clearer path emerges, NASA will provide more information." Starliner was originally scheduled to be launched on May 6, but the launch was postponed to May 10 due to a valve issue detected in the spacecraft. It was stated that it would take time to fix the problem, and the next launch date was marked as May 17. However, with the latest development, the launch date of Starliner has become uncertain.
