NASA astronaut Eric Boe has been removed from the test flight of Boeing’s Starliner crew transport spacecraft—which is scheduled for no earlier than August 2019—because of a "medical issue."

Two-time space shuttle pilot Boe was selected to be involved in the test flight last year, however, he will now be unable to fly, according to the space agency. He will be replaced by veteran NASA and ISS astronaut Edward “Mike” Fincke.
