NASA has scrubbed the launch of Boeing’s Starliner, which was set to send two astronauts to the International Space Station. The cited reason for the postponement was a complication with an oxygen relief valve on the solid rocket booster.

#NASA #Boeing #Spaceship
At this point just give boeings budget to SpaceX
SpaceX is too busy blowing up starships
@@alex_llllol you’re right, they have completely mastered landing the Falcon 9 boosters and decided to do something even more challenging
@@jbdwiggins1991 in a hindsight – turned out to be very bad idea
@@alex_lll ??? Can you explain?
@@jbdwiggins1991 burned billions of $ to blow past all the deadlines and have aircraft that lifts less than advertised and can barely go to low earth orbit (with target being the moon)
Why is boeing making anything anymore?
Boo boo Boeing.
In the meantime, China is already lifted off many moon missions. But, but, but…
I heard the door fell off 😮
Why the cold feet; its Boeing, everything will be fine. Lift off darling, lift off.
Did a door fall off?
Valve issue on the LOCKHEED MARTIN built rocket.
More future human ash in the friendly skies.
Door won’t latch, tire on delivery vehicle fell off.
Some mighty putty, would’ve worked, call Billy Mayz.
Meanwhile, 10 Boeing starliner employees on suicide watch right now?
There goes another 1,000.bucks Bragg will fine Trump.
I’m guessing scrubbed means postponed
Yes … in this case they are not referring to scrubbing whistle blowers
Too many resources diverted to hiring hitmen for the 10 newest whistleblowers. No wonder they couldn’t launch.
60 years ago, N A S A claimed to be able to land and took off again from the moon…
can’t N A S A gives a hint to Boeing, how to make a proper rocket?
or maybe it was a MO..jave desert landing?
Doesn’t Boeing have the most diverse work force? I thought diversity is strength 🤡😬
Racists when the management Boeing inherited from McDonnell Douglas continues to be corrupt
The last whistleblower, who warned Boeing of quality issues, is of Indian descent. Did you forget that already?🙂
It was reported that the door hinges were not set in place correctly.
LOL
Just make sure the astronauts know how to disable the MCAS.
Hopefully Boing remembers the door bolts. 😜 So, seven year old parts you say… this just all sounds like a bad recipe. I wish them luck. 👍
Hey guys just be careful not to talk to much about any issues with there rocket! You might be found dead!
I came here for the Boeing killing people jokes
What takes more courage? Being a whistle blower exposing Boeing’s dangerous products, or being an astronaut on Boeing’s Starliner?
Did the door fall off the capsule……..
bruh
It was scrubbed due to a new whistle blower.
Engineers discovered bolts holding in the door were missing?
Near tragedy
Artemis 2 will postpone 20 times next year before launch this is only 1st time for boeing
Prove it wasn’t the X 4.5 flare blackout today??
Valve issues aren’t unheard of. If they scrubbed for space weather they would’ve said so
thry probably noticed a few bolts were missing on the starliner fuselage.
Probably afraid a door would blow off
meanwhile China just launched a new probe to the far side of the moon
Boeing is really on a roll, aren’t they
Another embarrassment for Beoing.
🤣 God US just SUCKS !
It’s Boeing and it ain’t going 😄
oh look, a zelensky bot trying to gain sympathy
Godspeed, Capricorn One!
I’m not sure I’d even use Boeing toilet paper for fear that my parts might fly off.
Its not fairly common. They try once a year and that too they scrub more often. But the important thing is the astronauts are SAFE. this thing is an accident waiting to happen. They should scrubb the whole Boeing program.
We should scrub the starship too, what a joke.
This is a joke. What!
I thought they taught us there’s no Ls in Boeing
Despite its poor track record of product safety and shifting blame onto its customers for subpar craftsmanship, Boeing’s decades-long role as a leading supplier of lethal weapons to the United States government qualifies it as _”too big to fail”_ [read as “taxpayer bailout”]. Following the McDonnell-Douglas acquisition, it became an aerospace monopoly. The rise of new space-related technology firms has eroded that monopoly. Airbus reportedly increased its aircraft delivery lead over Boeing in March 2024, with Boeing’s quarterly airplane deliveries falling to 83 units in April of the same year. The company is starting to feel the effects of its lax quality controls. Boeing’s days of shifting blame elsewhere may be over. 🙂
You don’t say.
I didn’t miss it❤
I love how mainstream media is making it sound like the mission has been completely canceled.
Fairly common to scrub launches? Yikes!! Falcon9 is launch after launch after launch. Maybe SpaceX should be contracted to organize the launches for NASA too 😃😃
Quality of boeing😂
Now we finally know what’s wrong with this entire program. They are using LOX on a solid rocket booster. Hey guys, that doesn’t work.
Maybe it was a Starliner MAX….
Some engineer found a whistle
Kinda like maiden voyage of the Titanic scrubbed.
Elon isn’t wrong, dragon has been going strong and starliner can’t even get off the ground lol
That wasn’t Elons point
Yeah let’s put them on a starship instead
SpaceX is light-years ahead 😂
@@jbdwiggins1991 in what terms
@@Supraboyes in that they can get off the ground
Massive Atlas5 rocket 🤣
The Boyun Company has been invaded by the plague. Has spread from the wind turbine to the rocket.
The success rate of China’s Long March rocket is 100%. Excuse me, how did you do it?
Well a tax payer funded billion dollar contract awarded to pay off irresponsible behavior should help.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that thing doesn’t fly at all and this is just for show.
Ah, yes. The **liquid** oxygen valve on the *SOLID* rocket booster. Lol
NASA better double check the hatch door and make sure it’s secured properly.
One of the door plugs blew out
Thank God. I had a feeling they were going to cancel it.
Tighten all the bolts carefully,never use laundry soap….
“Boeing scrubs plans for the rocket entirely” ???
NASA is a complete joke . . SpaceX is the future
SpaceX and NASA are partners not competitors
Let me put on my “suprise” face.. I just hope these astronauts are safe…. It’s a shame that Nasa keeps throwing massive amounts of money at a corrupt company that now focuses more on Wall Street profits than it does on human safety.
Nothing dangerous happened and Boeing didn’t even cause the scrub
Seems suss how the reporter is describing the issue. But my fears are confirmed. Boeing builds a rocket at the same quality of their planes. I prayed for the astronauts before I went to sleep and God delivered. Hopefully they don’t reschedule
The rocket was not built by Boeing. The launch also only scrubbed because of excess safety margins by ULA (who builds it) in which they do no state changes of the fuelling with crew at the pad
who cares about space its a waste !!
No its not
Starterliner?
Is NBC going to fix this misreporting?
Much worse than China
coz boeing rocket is over capacity
Another ripoff of the American taxpayer. The Alliance still uses a rocket designed in the early 1960’s and charges the Government 50 times what it did back then. The Boeing capsule isn’t much different than Apollo capsule. It’s all crap. Space X and Blue Origin no better either.
That’s false. Atlas V was designed in the late 90s and costs less than 1 Atlas Agena did (adjusted for inflation)
Starliner is COMPLETELY different to the CM and so is Dragon
What a waste of money this so called space flight is. We should be spending money on fusion
If they found an oxygen valve on the solid rocket booster, they really better delay the launch.
Since Apollo was a rousing success not once but 6 times (yea right the moon landings were faked) why not give use the same BS 1960s tech , oh never mind Apollo lost all the info for it.
You don’t know what technology means do you?
Scrubs are fairly common!?? Since when😂 I guess you’ve never heard of SpaceX where it’s very rare they do scrub😂
The Boeing Starliner is another financially wasteful boondoggle. The NASA bureaucrats enjoy wasting taxpayer money.
Boeing didn’t cause the scrub
I know you dug into Boeing issues but I want to point out that this is a ULA issue and has nothing to do with Boeing. Boeing definitely has it’s issues but this scrub was not due to their struggles.
Oh NO!! 😢😮🫶😟
“Oxygen valve on solid rocket booster” this is why I get my space news from nasaspaceflight.
Not common for space x
Literally happened on Crew 2
Elon is dancing
Oxygen valve on the solid rocket booster. Really?!
“watch the launch scrubbed, in live action” You newsy’s are seriously becoming an unprofessional desperate sorority. Confidence in the Boeing brand? Uhhhh, no. If I were an astronaut I’d refuse to fly on that Tax guzzling boondoggle.
But how exactly did Boeing get billions of dollars to start this company? 🤣🤣🤣
What?
@@weekiely1233 inside joke for those that understand outer space is a complete farce 👍
We forgot everything we ever learned during Apollo – meanwhile there is another country launching a mission to the sun … the heat thing all figured out the will be going at night.
NASA literally launched a mission to the sun in 2018
Also how have we “forgot everything we learned in Apollo”?
NASA😂
Ask space x for help
starliner is the laughing stock of the century and what an oxygen valve on a solid rocket booster come on people cancel this vampire money sucking program already
Come on Boeing. I like to see some luck go your way… but space ex is kinda better…
7years late why not another day. Hopefully the door doesn’t pop off….. what a complete waste of 💰
Atlas five not massive.
Nasa and Boeing – putting two astronauts on a spaceflight. The atlas five – dependable. One might think they would make sure a valve doesn’t scrub the mission.
ULA is half owned by Boeing that’s why they have rocket problems.
Atlas V has the third highest reliability of any rocket with zero failures. In fact it was out of an abundance of safety that the launch was scrubbed. Their operations also are not tied to Boeing at all other than the designs for the rockets (Atlas V was from Lockheed not Boeing)
It’s their rules to not change the fuelled state while crew are at the pad. During which they encountered oscillations in a valve that vents boiled off LOX
Normally they would do a number of things to try to mitigate it however, because of their desire for safety they scrubbed and replaced the valve.
At least the door stayed on.
Shut up

Basic design is the same is what I met. Like the B-52 Bomber. My point is that the Engineering of Rockets has maxed out except for the modern power of adding computers to the system. None of these systems seem very impressive. They can’t seem to reproduce anything that supersedes the Saturn 5 rocket which was designed in early 1960’s.
Atlas V has one of the highest accuracies and reliability of any rocket. Falcon 9 (made by SpaceX) is THE most reliable rocket ever developed
Saturn V had many scrubs and issues and far lower savings and accuracy. It was not better than rockets today
Awwwww. Poor astronauts. That’s like going on a new ride at an amusement park and it being taken out of service.
wow…I fear for the astronauts, I believe this is why Chris Ferguson (the original choice to pilot the Atlas V) pulled out of the program, he knew something was wrong
No he pulled out due to a family emergency. Literally nothing dangerous happened a valve that vents oxygen simply needs changing

Since the launch was scrubbed due to a rocket issue and not the Starliner capsule itself, wouldn’t it make more sense at this point to just have SpaceX ferry the Starliner into space so Boeing can proceed in testing its maneuvering and docking capabilities? In the meantime, the Atlas 5 rocket issues can be looked into.
No.
It’s a Boeing so it’s not going….. -missing some screws
I’m just here for the SpaceX fanboys.
