Boeing's Starliner capsule has made headlines by returning to Earth without its crew. Find out what happened during this space soap opera!
This week, Boeing's Starliner capsule took center stage as it gracefully departed from the International Space Station (ISS) while leaving two astronauts behind. Yes, you heard right! In a scene that could easily be scripted for a space-themed soap opera, the Starliner, despite having been plagued with safety concerns, successfully completed its mission all alone. With astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams remaining on the ISS until February 2025, it seems that Starliner is not too concerned about having its friends join it on the ride home.
The undocking process started smoothly on Friday, marking the end of a tumultuous chapter fraught with technical challenges and safety checks over the last few months. Who knew that such a little spacecraft could create such big drama? So, while Starliner completed its return trip back to Earth, it was undoubtedly a bittersweet goodbye for the astronauts who will continue their duties aboard the ISS. It’s like watching your friend leave a party alone while you stay back to help clean up!
Once the Starliner hit the skies, it made a spectacular landing in New Mexico safely. The capsule's departure and smooth landing come as a breath of fresh air for Boeing, who has been eager to restore faith in their spacecraft after previous mishaps. This lonely return trip has raised eyebrows and generated buzz, with many questioning if it could be the start of a new trend in space travel: sending spacecraft home for a little R&R without the astronauts!
In light of the spectacle, let’s not forget that both Wilmore and Williams are seasoned astronauts. They’ve crossed orbits around the Earth and are equipped to handle the wait until February. Meanwhile, if you’re wondering about the spaceship’s capabilities, Starliner is actually designed to carry up to seven crew members, so hopefully, it won't leave them behind for a second round!
