Boeing delays capsule's first space test flightBoeing has delayed from April to August its test flight for its Starliner capsule, intended to carry American astronauts to the International Space Station. The US space agency NASA blamed the delay on “limited launch opportunities” in April and May from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Starliner spacecraft, which is in the final phase of ground tests, is set to be launched into space atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
