Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft launch set for Wednesday after computer issue #

The latest attempt at launching Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is on track for Wednesday following a computer issue that halted the countdown on Saturday. The mission, called the Crew Flight Test, will be the first crewed launch of Starliner. Veteran NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will be aboard the spacecraft. The launch was paused just minutes before liftoff due to an automatic hold triggered by a computer issue. The ground support equipment was examined, and the issue was isolated to a single ground power supply within one of the computers. Teams have agreed that Starliner is “go” for launch on Wednesday.
