Boeing's astronaut launch is delayed again because of a last-minute computer problem.
Reading
Boeing's first astronaut flight was delayed again because of computer problems. Two astronauts were ready to go into space, but the computer stopped the countdown just before takeoff.
The astronauts had to get out of the rocket, and the fuel needs to be drained before the problem can be fixed. The rocket company thinks they can try launching again soon, maybe even next week.
If they can't launch it next week, they will have to wait until June. This is because they need to move the rocket and change its batteries.
This was Boeing's second try to launch astronauts into space. Their first try was also delayed because of leaks and other problems.
NASA wants Boeing to be a backup for SpaceX, which has been taking astronauts to space since 2020. Everyone was disappointed about the delay, but they are still planning to launch the astronauts soon.
