NASA Discusses Starliner's Future
(Cape Canaveral, FL)-- NASA and Boeing aren't ready to give up on Starliner. NASA officials said yesterday it's working on issues that led to helium leaks in the capsule last year. The capsule was supposed to bring astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore home from the International Space Station. Those leaks made that too dangerous, though, so Williams and Wilmore remained on the ISS for nine months. They returned to Earth yesterday on a SpaceX capsule. As for Starliner, NASA says it'll resume testing this summer in New Mexico. If all goes well, Starliner could be reintroduced to NASA's space rotation and carry astronauts to the ISS once again.
