What went wrong with the Boeing Starliner launch

The inaugural flight of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner went awry Friday morning when the spacecraft failed to achieve its correct orbit, cancelling its planned trip to the International Space Station.

Not only was this the first test flight of Boeing’s ship, but it was a major step in NASA's plan to let private companies take over manned space flights to the ISS. 

Things started off promising enough with the Starliner's liftoff, a picture-perfect launch into the early morning Florida sky.
