Boeing, NASA say Starliner astronaut launch will move forward despite spacecraft helium leak

Boeing and NASA have announced that they will proceed with the launch of the Starliner spacecraft, despite a detected helium leak. They are confident that the issue will not pose a significant risk to the mission’s success or the crew’s safety. However, before the launch, Boeing engineers will conduct further investigations and tests to assess the severity of the leak and determine necessary repairs. Once resolved, the spacecraft should be ready to carry astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission represents a significant step in
