Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has safely returned to Earth after its mission was cut short. The spacecraft landed in the New Mexico desert on Sunday following an issue with its propulsion system. Boeing’s Starliner was on a mission to dock with the International Space Station, but the mission was aborted due to a problem with a valve that controls the spacecraft’s propulsion. The spacecraft was unmanned during its test flight, which was intended to demonstrate its ability to safely transport astronauts to the ISS. Boeing’s Starliner is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, which aims to develop safe and reliable transportation for astronauts to and from the ISS. The spacecraft’s safe return to Earth is a positive outcome for Boeing and NASA as they continue to work towards launching crewed missions in the near future.
