The news of Boeing’s indefinite delay of its first crewed Starliner flight is a major setback for the aerospace industry. The test flight, which was scheduled to take place on July 21, has been called off due to safety concerns.
This comes after months of preparation and anticipation from both NASA and Boeing officials who had hoped that this would be an important step in the development of space exploration technology. Unfortunately, it appears that there are still some major issues with the spacecraft’s design that need to be addressed before any further progress can be made.
Boeing will now have to go back to the drawing board to ensure all safety protocols are met before they can move forward with their plans for manned spaceflight. In addition, they’ll also need additional funding from NASA if they want this project completed within a reasonable timeframe as it may require more resources than originally anticipated when the planning began last year.
It’s clear that this delay is not ideal but ultimately necessary if we want our astronauts safe during their journey into outer space; something no one should ever compromise on regardless of how long or costly it takes us to get there safely!
