NASA has confirmed that the defect will not delay the mission, which is scheduled for June 1st. Fixing the helium leak would have postponed the Starliner crew test flight for months. Concerns about safety and quality among Boeing employees have surged following recent incidents. Sunita Williams' flight, initially planned for May, has been postponed due to these new issues.
