Summary
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is set to leave the International Space Station without the two astronauts it carried into orbit. The return has been delayed multiple times due to issues with its propulsion system. NASA has decided to send the spacecraft back empty to further understand the root causes of the issues. This setback could threaten Boeing's future involvement with NASA's Commercial Crew program.
