They're saying they're going to try again tomorrow at 12:00. At least it wasn't the rocket or capsule itself, they're saying it was the ground based towers countdown computer system.

They’ve updated the article, launching no earlier than Wednesday now.

NASA announced late Saturday that it will not attempt to launch the Starliner on Sunday. The next available opportunity to lift off is Wednesday at 10:52 a.m. ET., however the agency indicated mission teams have not yet determined whether they will attempt to launch the spacecraft then. There is another backup launch window on June 6.

Damn. Wonder how many delays they're gonna do before finally launching. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Yeah, it could have been the door falling off

No, that part happens in flight.
