Nasa Give Up On Starliner! SpaceX Dragon Awarded Billion Dollar Contract...

First some news: What happened to Boeing Starliner's Crew Flight test?
Boeing Starliner's second attempt to lift off on May 17 was one more time canceled. The crewed debut of the capsule has been pushed back an additional four days or May 21. The mission is called Crew Flight Test (CFT) which will send Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to the International Space Station for a roughly eight-day stay.

The excuse is a small helium leak in Starliner's service module, according to a release from Boeing.
“The teams now are targeting a launch date of no earlier than 4:43 PM Eastern daylight time on Tuesday, May 21, to complete additional testing,” the release said.
May 6 marks the first Starliner launch attempt of 2024 on a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, on Florida's Space Coast. But ULA, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, had a plot twist just two hours before launch. Indeed, the team noticed a "buzzing" valve in the Atlas 5's Centaur upper stage. Well, it sounds reasonable that an old-fashioned rocket would sometimes run into trouble at a critical moment, right?
