Boeing Starliner returning without crew – Butch and Suni to fly SpaceX
The eventful Starliner Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission crewed by astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams has reached a point where a decision has now been made to return the astronauts home on Crew Dragon Freedom. This comes after the CFT mission stretched from the initial “soft” planning for eight days to spending two and a half months aboard the International Space Station, and the CFT crew will now stay in orbit for eight months.
