Boeing’s Starliner blasts off on first crewed flight into orbit
NASA is set to determine the fate of two stranded astronauts tomorrow, after their ride home aboard Boeing's Starliner was deemed too risky.
The meeting will be followed by a live news conference soon after from the Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, which is hoped to offer an update on their length of stay. The spacesuits Wilmore and Williams arrived in are only suitable for Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, and will not work with the Dragon vessel.Both astronauts are "very familiar" with the ISS, according to Russ DeLoach, Nasa’s chief of safety and mission assurance.
