The Stars My Destination: Orbital Flight Test-2

Today's rescheduled launch of the Boeing Starliner capsule's uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 (O.F.T.-2) was scrubbed, but not due to any further issues with the International Space Station & the hazardous Nauka Multipurpose Laboratory Module. So, I was right that O.F.T.-2 would not launch today, but wrong as to why. As of this writing, the next opportunity to launch O.F.T.-2 is tomorrow, Wednesday, 4 August. Scrubbed launches are a part of spaceflight; they happen to everybody.

Go, Starliner! Go! (Eventually.)
