CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Boeing’s first spaceflight with astronauts has been delayed until next year because of repairs that need to be made to the capsule. Liftoff of the Starliner capsule with a pair of test pilots is now scheduled for February. NASA and Boeing announced the latest postponement Thursday. Boeing has launched Starliner twice without a crew, most recently in May. The capsule managed to dock with the International Space Station on the second go-around, despite thruster and other problems. Boeing officials say the issues need to be fixed before two NASA astronauts climb aboard, as early as February.
