The launch of the Boeing Starliner, carrying astronaut Sunita Williams on her third space mission, has been postponed due to a technical issue. The launch was called off 90 minutes before lift-off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA announced an "off-nominal condition" with an oxygen relief valve as the reason for the delay. Williams and fellow astronaut Barry Wilmore have safely exited the spacecraft. This mission would have made Williams the first woman to fly on a maiden crewed mission of a new space shuttle. A new launch date has not been announced.
