The first crewed launch of Boeing's Starliner spaceship was postponed around two hours before takeoff after a new safety issue was identified, officials said Monday.

"Standing down on tonight's attempt to launch," tweeted NASA chief Bill Nelson. "As I've said before, @NASA’s first priority is safety. We go when we’re ready."
