The launch of SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission, which aims to transport four astronauts to the International Space Station, is being delayed by NASA. This delay will allow mission managers to finalize return planning for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. There have been rumors surrounding the fate of the Starliner spacecraft, which has remained attached to the space station longer than expected, leaving its two crew members in limbo.
