Boeing's CST-100 Starliner returned to Earth without a crew due to safety concerns, encountering issues during its mission, including thruster failures and navigation problems.
NASA's commercial crew manager, Steve Stich, noted the Starliner's return was uneventful, yet a thruster failed leading to reliance on a backup, highlighting ongoing concerns.
After issues such as helium leaks and thruster behavior, astronauts Wilmore and Williams must wait for a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule to return them home.
Boeing's absence from the post-landing news conference raised questions about the future of the CST-100 Starliner program after an troubled test mission.
