Two NASA astronauts were strapped in the company’s Starliner capsule when the countdown automatically was halted at 3 minutes and 50 seconds by the computer system that controls the final minutes before liftoff. It was the second launch attempt...

Boeing’s largest plant in ‘panic mode’ amid safety crisis, say workers and union officials [Click] Gee, whoda thunk? Personally, I should prefer to fly on an Airbus or Embraer plane. And look at the Boeing space capsule imbroglio.
