Once again, the planned crewed launch of the Boeing Starliner was scrubbed at 3 minutes and 50 seconds before liftoff due to a problem with the ground system.
Once again, the planned crewed launch of the Boeing Starliner has been called off at the last minute. The launch today was scrubbed at 3 minutes and 50 seconds before liftoff due to a problem with the ground system. This is the second time that the first crewed mission using the Starliner has been called off shortly before launch, with a previous attempt on May 6 called off due to a different issue with the rocket.

The engineers should be able to look at the issue within the next few hours and if the fix is a simple one, then the launch could go ahead tomorrow. If it turns out to be more complicated, however, the launch could be delayed even further.
