Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams — two veteran NASA astronauts piloting the first crewed test flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft — have now been in space for 63 days, roughly seven weeks longer than initially expected.
There is still no clear return date in sight, and NASA is now making clear that the astronauts may not come home on Starliner at all.
SpaceX, Boeing's rival under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, may be tapped to bring Williams and Wilmore home instead. The move could potentially extend the astronauts' stay on the International Space Station by another six months, pushing their return into 2025, agency officials said in a news conference overnight.
