Hmmm... This could have been scary but luckily wasn't but it
Russia's new space-station module fired its engines in error, pushing the entire station into an hour-long spin
Caused this:
NASA has delayed Boeing's spaceship flight after a Russian module pushed the space station out of position

Russia broke the ISS, now Boeing has to wait a few more days to join in the space race.

Not sure that there Starliner has any actual people in it... real question is did China hack Nauka?
The Starliner mission, now set for 8/3, will be uncrewed. It is one of the final test flights before they fill it up with some astronauts.

Holy Mary Mother of Trump! That's impressive. Is that the booster for their sheduled short-orbit flight later this year?
Supposedly. But things change often at SpaceX.
Starliner launch today at 1:20 PM EDT. Hopefully it won't have any inadvertent thruster firings after it docks with the ISS tomorrow.
I love that one of the engines on there has a label hand sprayed with a rattle can. Why waste $1 on a cardboard stencil template when you don't have to?
A problem with the propulsion system wasn't discovered until today? That's scary.
Or maybe all the moving around it's had to do a hose clamp came off or something got unplugged?

Given recent history Boeing must by super nervous... they really don't need any more fails.
