The Boeing Starliner recently made a safe return to Earth after its unmanned mission to the International Space Station in June. Due to technical issues, NASA deemed it unsafe to send two crew members back on the spacecraft, leading to the astronauts remaining in space until February when a SpaceX rocket will bring them home.
Former astronaut and International Space Station Commander Terry Virt praised the Starliner's landing, giving it a perfect 10 rating. Despite encountering problems with small thrusters, which were not manufactured by Boeing but a subcontractor, the spacecraft's reentry and landing were flawless.
