Disappointing and not entirely unexpected. I'm a moderately active follower of space exploration and was looking forward to a new crewed vehicle launch.

Boeing can't get out of its own way lately in the aviation world, and the lack of performance seems also to be present in its space operations, unfortunately.

At least they didn't ignore the problem and push for a launch anyway. Scary prospect flying into space with Boeing's name on the vessel.

I was sitting at a bar in Port Canaveral tonight hoping to see it go. Glad they followed protocol and scrubbed it though. We did see the Falcon 9 launch earlier in the day. That was my first in person launch. Super cool.
Random recommendation: if you ever want to sit at a wonderful tiki bar and watch a launch, check out Gator's Port Side.

That is a used Falcon Booster in the foreground with the rocket launching to the left

5/Starliner CFT: Unexpected behavior of an oxygen relief valve in the Atlas 5's Centaur upper stage, described as a "chattering," has prompted a scrub of this evening's launch; it's not yet clear when another launch try will be attempted; we’ll pass along updates as soon as more information is available
