Boeing's Starliner capsule successfully completed its mission and landed in New Mexico's White Sands Space Harbor despite facing multiple technical issues. NASA has justified its decision to exclude astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the mission. The Starliner, which conducted an uncrewed test flight, accomplished its objectives by returning safely to Earth. NASA officials explained that keeping Williams and Wilmore off this particular mission was the right decision due to the unresolved technical challenges that could have posed risks to crewed missions. As the spacecraft descended Friday night, Boeing officials remained unusually quiet about the mission's results and future plans.
