NASA boosts Boeing Starliner effort after astronaut setback
Original: NASA ramps up support to get Boeing's astronaut capsule flying after Butch and Suni fiasco
NASA is increasing its support for Boeing's Starliner astronaut capsule as the company works to return the spacecraft to flight. The push follows the troubled 2024 crewed test flight that left astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams stranded on the International Space Station for months while their capsule returned uncrewed. The agency still wants a second commercial crew provider alongside SpaceX.
Why now: The episode with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams drew global attention, so news of Boeing's effort to recover keeps drawing interest.
