When will the Boeing Starliner crew return to Earth?

Digital Aviation, LLC – Boeing and NASA spent four years trying to send a crewed mission on the Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station, and finally succeeded this year. The road has been fraught with problems that have delayed every step of the mission. Once the tasks planned there are completed, Problems persist and the crew is unable to return to Earth.

The mission arrived at the ISS on June 5 and was supposed to return a week later. However, we are already in mid-July and There are no forecasts for returning home until at least August. They are being held up by a fuel leak. NASA is working overtime in New Mexico to try to identify the problem and find a solution.

What will happen?

The manned test mission was a test of sorts for Starliner and Boeing to see if they were capable of making regular flights to the station carrying cargo and crew. The sheer number of issues leaves a lot of doubt as to whether they are worthy of such certification. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s SpaceX Dragon has been at it for years and could snag the Starliner mission scheduled for next February. Boeing, for its part, sees every mistake and failure as a learning curve.
