NASA is approaching a critical decision regarding the safe return of astronauts aboard the troubled Starliner spacecraft, with options including an autonomous return.
Ken Bowersox emphasized the need to use the available time wisely but acknowledged the urgency to make a final decision on Starliner's return by late August.
The Starliner mission, which initially planned for an eight-day duration, has extended to over two months due to unresolved propulsion system issues.
NASA is exploring a backup strategy that may see the Starliner spacecraft autonomously return to Earth without astronauts on board, given ongoing delays.
