Starliner astronauts won’t return home until February 2025. NASA made the announcement on Saturday that it will turn to SpaceX to bring Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore back from the ISS due to ongoing problems with the Boeing capsule that brought the duo into space in June. The Boeing capsule will return home without the astronauts, while SpaceX will send its capsule to the ISS with two empty seats.
