NASA Weighs SpaceX Return for Stranded Astronauts
News summary

NASA is considering using SpaceX's Crew Dragon to return astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station, as Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has experienced significant technical issues. Originally scheduled for an eight-day mission, the astronauts have been in space for over two months due to thruster failures and helium leaks in Starliner. NASA needs to decide by mid-August whether to proceed with Starliner or opt for Crew Dragon, potentially delaying the astronauts' return until February 2025. This situation has raised concerns about Starliner's reliability and has been embarrassing for Boeing. Despite the challenges, NASA assures that the astronauts are safe on the ISS.
