Boeing's first astronaut launch is delayed because of a problem with a rocket valve.

Boeing wanted to launch astronauts into space, but their rocket has a problem. They had to stop getting ready to launch because a part of the rocket isn't working right.

The problem is with a valve that opened and closed too many times, making a loud noise. The people who built the rocket say the valve needs to be changed, which will take time.

The astronauts who were supposed to go on the flight will have to wait. They are staying near the rocket while the problem is being fixed.

This flight was already supposed to happen a long time ago, but there have been many delays. There were problems with the capsule the astronauts ride in, so they had to fix those first.
