In a recent development, NASA has announced the scrubbing of the planned launch of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. This decision was made just moments before the scheduled liftoff, with two astronauts who were set to fly the rocket now preparing to exit the spacecraft on the ground.
The launch was halted less than four minutes before liftoff due to an automatic hold of a ground launch sequencer, an automated system that ground teams are currently investigating. The cause of the hold is being attributed to ongoing testing of the system following an earthquake.
