After a series of troubled test flights and ongoing problems with its commercial aviation wing, Boeing will have to wait a little longer before it can fly people for the first time on its Starliner capsule.

Monday's launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla., was called off ahead of its planned 10:34 p.m. EST launch because of a faulty oxygen relief valve, according to NASA. The next launch attempt will take place no earlier than Friday, according to a statement from United Launch Alliance, the company behind the Atlas V rocket that will carry the capsule into space.
