Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two NASA astronauts, piloting the first crewed test flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, have been in space for longer than expected. There is no clear return date yet. NASA has not started a ‘flight readiness review’ for the Starliner crew’s return from the International Space Station. Boeing and NASA teams are still working on a return date as they evaluate testing data and analyze propulsion issues and helium leaks. The delay in the review process indicates that Starliner’s return remains uncertain. NASA will provide updates on the mission’s status.
