NASA Chooses SpaceX Over Boeing Starliner to Rescue Astronauts by February 2025
Aug 27, 2024, 11:00 PM
NASA has selected SpaceX to rescue two astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for 81 days due to Boeing's Starliner spacecraft being deemed unsafe for their return. The astronauts have been on the ISS since June, and their mission has been extended until February 2025. Boeing's Starliner was initially intended to bring them back, but technical issues, including propulsion and parachute problems, have led NASA to opt for SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule for their return. This decision underscores SpaceX's growing influence in America's space endeavors, as NASA turns to the company for a reliable solution.
