Months late: Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore back on earth

A few days on board the ISS turned into months for Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore due to problems with the Boeing Starline. Now they have returned.

#NASA experts still arenโ€™t certain why the thrusters suddenly stopped working. After recording some $1.6 billion in cost overruns, #Boeing seems unlikely to ever make money on #Starliner. #CFO Brian West told investors that the company had a decision to make about future investment in the program after it fulfills its obligations to NASA for a half-dozen flights to the #ISS. https://fortune.com/2024/08/25/boeings-ceo-kelly-ortberg-starliner-writedown-nasa-spacex-cash-reserves/
