Boeing Starliner Faces Potential Crash Risk Due to Faulty Engines, Delaying Astronaut Return from ISS
Boeing Starliner risks crashing into the International Space Station (ISS) due to faulty engines that could cause the spacecraft to lose control immediately after undocking from the station, potentially ending in an accident. This issue has caused significant concern, especially as the spacecraft was tasked with bringing NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams back to Earth.
Initially, Wilmore and Williams launched aboard the Starliner on June 5 for what was intended to be an eight-day mission. However, due to the engine malfunction, their return has been delayed, causing widespread attention. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has addressed the delay, expressing the agency's commitment to ensuring the safety of the crew while working with Boeing to resolve the engine issues.
The delay underscores the seriousness of the problem, as engineers and NASA officials deliberate on the safest method to bring the astronauts home without risking a potential crash into the ISS.
