- NASA and Boeing are proceeding with a space launch after discovering a helium leak.
- Starliner is set to carry two US astronauts to the International Space Station next week.
- A Boeing exec, Mark Nappi, said the "design vulnerability" was "not a safety-of-flight issue."
NASA and Boeing said a helium leak in Boeing's Starliner spacecraft was "stable" and wouldn't prevent two astronauts from launching into space next week in a mission more than a decade in the making.
