Takeoff was slated for Wednesday evening from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but the company waived off the launch attempt because of an issue with the launchpad’s ground system. The problem stemmed from a hydraulics system used to control one of two clamps that hold on to the upper portion of the rocket as it sits vertically on the ground pad before launch.

NASA will wait at least another two days to launch its next space station crew, delaying the return of Starliner astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams a bit longer.
