In what has largely been an open secret for several weeks, NASA and Boeing formally announced the delay to Starliner’s upcoming uncrewed Orbital Flight Test (OFT) that had been scheduled for this month. The NASA statement says OFT is now targeting a “working date” in August 2019.
But the most curious part of the announcement was the NASA statement’s desire to place the blame for this delay on Starliner’s launch provider, United Launch Alliance (ULA).
