NASA Calls On Elon Musk’s SpaceX To Get Stranded Astronauts Home
NASA announced that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who flew to the ISS on the first crewed test flight of Boeing’s Starliner, will have to wait until February 2025. They are calling on Boeing’s rival, Elon Musk’s SpaceX to get them back with Crew-9 as a safety precaution. The Boeing Starliner will return uncrewed in a separate flight.
Wilmore and Williams will assist the “Expedition 71” crew aboard the ISS in the meantime.
