The Space Coast set a new launch record in 2023 with 72 orbital missions from either Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The pace of launches could ramp up by the end of 2024 to a near twice-weekly rate.

With under four minutes on the countdown clock, teams scrubbed a launch attempt Saturday of a pair of NASA astronauts seated in what was supposed to be the first human spaceflight of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner.

NASA again delayed the launch of its first astronaut-crewed flight into space aboard Boeing's Starliner.

The flight is a critical test for NASA to prove Starliner can safely carry people to and from the ISS under the U.S. space agency's Commercial Crew Program.
