Boeing called off its first astronaut launch because of a valve problem on the rocket Monday night.

The two NASA test pilots had just strapped into Boeing’s Starliner capsule when the countdown was halted, just two hours before the planned liftoff. A United Launch Alliance engineer, Dillon Rice, said the issue involved an oxygen relief valve on the upper stage of the company's Atlas rocket.

There was no immediate word on when the team would try again to launch the test pilots to the International Space Station for a weeklong stay. It was the latest delay for Boeing's first crew flight, on hold for years because of capsule trouble.

I mean... they probably killed the guy who inspected the valve so that's why they didn't catch it before this. They also probably killed the guy who could've fixed it before launch, since as we know, they can't allow anyone to work there who is actually competent at producing quality aircraft.

You couldn’t pay me enough to ride in that rocket. Boeing has historically failed

Imagine riding in any aircraft built with/by Boeing, especially one designed for space! I fully expect them to be responsible for the next Challenger/Columbia level disaster.

I will never fly in a boeing again. No QC, greed has destroyed your reputation.

My family and I just ordered three cross-country Airlines trips. We were assured that we would not be flying on any Boeing aircraft! Let's see if the airline keeps that promise!!

Probably saved those astronauts lives.

They can't make safe airplanes anymore... I wouldn't be caught dead in one of their rockets.
