NASA is nearing a decision on whether to bring astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams back to Earth in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which experienced thruster issues and helium leaks. Initially planned for an eight-day mission, the astronauts have been on the ISS for over two months. The decision will be announced Saturday after an internal review. If Starliner is deemed unsafe, the astronauts may return via SpaceX, but this would extend their stay on the ISS by several months.
