NASA again postpones return of Boeing Starliner crew from space

SUMMARY

NASA and Boeing have delayed the return of the Starliner from the ISS, as the crew reviews the spacecraft’s technical issues. The mission, Boeing’s first manned space launch, was initially set for nine days. It's unclear when commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams will return, though dates after spacewalks on June 24th and July 2nd are being considered. The Calypso capsule has faced helium leaks and thruster issues since its June 5th launch. This mission was crucial for Boeing to start ferrying astronauts to the ISS, but the delays further challenge the company, especially against competitor SpaceX.
