⏳🥱 Last July #Boeing and #NASA officials decided to put a hold on launch preparations. During their final reviews to certify #Starliner for flight nearly a year ago, engineers discovered parts of Starliner's parachute 🪂 deployment system did not meet required safety specifications and that Boeing installed flammable 🔥 tape wrapped around wiring bundles throughout the #spacecraft, creating a potential fire hazard ☠️ https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/02/maybe-just-maybe-boeings-starliner-will-finally-fly-astronauts-this-spring/
