The Morning After: Starliner’s launch pushed back again
Starliner, the Boeing-made vehicle intended to carry the next generation of astronauts, has had its launch scrubbed once again.

Until then, the two personnel expected to soar into the heavens will just have to standby and hope that engineers are able to address the flaws with the Boeing-made craft.

Now, the company has fired back, claiming that its courting of the actress took place long after the “Sky” voice had been cast, and that nothing sinister went down here. Even though OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted “her” as a reference to the character ScarJo played in the movie of the same name.
