CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The Boeing Crew Flight Test Mission teams are getting ready for a launch at 7:52 A. M. Pacific Time this Wednesday for the Starliner’s first astronaut crewed flight into space. The space agency said it had to scrub Saturday’s launch. It also missed a Sunday window for a launch. A team of engineers found a problem with a power supply. They removed it and replaced it with a spare. This is the latest in multiple delays of Boeing’s Starliner. It’s a partially reusable spacecraft designed to take astronauts to the International Space Station.
