Note: The problem that scrubbed the launch has to do with a valve on the Atlas V's upper stage, nothing to do with Starliner. Sensationalist headline is sensationalist, correct in the best kind of correct.

There is nothing sensationalist. The flight was scrubbed. The headline didn't make any mention of the reason, the fact is literally, the flight attempt was a scrub.

It's definitely accurate to the facts, but twisted to try and paint a certain narrative given the current trends. Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

The headline could be an infinite number of ways more descriptive instead of riding on the coattails of the Boeing bash bandwagon:

"ULA scrubs launch of first crewed Boeing Starliner due to faulty valve in Atlas V."

"Boeing Starliner's first crewed mission scrubbed due to faulty valve in launch vehicle."

etc.

It's misleading. The issue was with the ULA launch.

How is it misleading? The mission was crewed Starliner and it was scrubbed. ULA wasn't mentioned.

Also Boeing is 50% ULA.

I call bullshit on you. It was a perfectly fine headline. That they've tied Starliner to Atlas 5 is not something that was forced on them, so Boeing and Starliner gets to own the consequences.
