NASA delays ISS missions to buy time for Starliner analysis
Briefly

NASA has confirmed it pushed back the next SpaceX Crew Dragon mission to give Starliner teams more time to work out how to bring the spacecraft back to Earth.
Crew-9 mission postponed to NET September 24, impacting subsequent SpaceX 31st resupply mission to mid-October.
NASA prefers crew handover on ISS, possibly delaying Crew-8's return to accommodate late launch and time margins for Crew Dragon docking.
Boeing's Starliner delay impact requires options like extending Crew-8's mission, returning before Crew-9 launch, or managing risks of prolonged docked stay.
