Boeing Starliner has suffered a major setback as it failed to reach the right orbit after launching in space. No one was on board the test flight but the failure questions Starliner's future. The cause was a glitch in Starliner's internal clock, that caused the spacecraft to register a different time than it actually was. NASA and Boeing are working jointly to examine what to do with the spacecraft.
