Boeing's Starliner capsule will return to Earth from the International Space Station without the NASA astronauts it delivered in June, as announced by NASA. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will return via SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft in February after a six-month ISS stay. This decision marks a significant shift for NASA and Boeing, which initially intended Starliner as the primary vehicle for the crew's return. The change comes after propulsion system issues during Starliner's crew flight test.
