The two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, were the first passengers aboard Boeing's Starliner vehicle and faced several anomalies during their mission.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson remarked that spaceflight is inherently risky, emphasizing that test flights are neither safe nor routine, highlighting the complexities faced by Wilmore and Williams.
Despite successfully reaching the ISS, NASA and Boeing have been troubleshooting the Starliner, particularly due to concerns with its propulsion system, which includes thruster failures.
NASA has yet to approve Starliner's return flight, as engineers are still evaluating the vehicle's thruster situation, indicating ongoing safety concerns.
