Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has encountered challenges during its mission, which initially planned for an eight-day stay on the International Space Station. Launched in June with NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, issues with the spacecraft's propulsion led to an extended mission of over seven months. Despite these problems, the astronauts remained optimistic about their time on the orbiting laboratory. Scheduled to return to Earth on September 6, the Starliner will land without its astronaut crew due to these ongoing technical difficulties. The mission setbacks highlight concerns over the reliability and future of Boeing's Starliner in NASA's human spaceflight operations. Meanwhile, technology news remains dynamic, with discussions about breaking up Google and the activities of Elon Musk, including his endorsement of Donald Trump, adding to the backdrop of Boeing's struggles in space exploration.
