NASA and Boeing have elected to stand down from Friday’s launch attempt of the agency’s second Orbital Flight Test mission. Currently, the earliest available launch opportunity is 1:20 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Aug. 3. The International Space Station team will use the time to continue working checkouts of the newly arrived Roscosmos Nauka multipurpose laboratory module and to ensure the station will be ready for Starliner’s arrival.

Launch preparations will resume following a final decision from the International Space Station and Commercial Crew Program teams for the next opportunity to send Starliner on its way to complete the OFT-2 mission, which will set the stage for the first Crew Flight Test. Earlier Thursday, Starliner atop its United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket was moved to its seaside launch pad for standard launch preparations. Teams are assessing moving the vehicle back to its Vehicle Integration Facility to protect it from weather until launch preparations resume. Starliner and Atlas V are in a safe, flight-ready configuration and do not require any near-term servicing.

The Atlas V was assembled throughout July, which included the transfer of Starliner from Boeing’s spacecraft processing facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Launch Complex 41 for mating atop the rocket.

But , I would really also like the prove and not the normal 'political' dance around questions answer.

Flight attendants train in self-defense amid spike in unruly passengersFlight attendants are training to hit, elbow and gouge simulated aggressive passengers. With actual passengers getting more violent than ever, the TSA has re-launched a voluntary program suspended by the pandemic that trains flight crews in self-defense skills. \n You know what’s really sad? That people are so fucking entitled that they think they can start a fight on an airplane, and that flight attendants have to train to fight off these asshats. I think if flight attendants got to throw one unruly passenger off the plane at 30k feet, the rest would start behaving 🤷 What a wretched state of affairs! 🙁
