RARE PHOTOS: When will starliner come home boeing and nasa still don t know | Vintage Vibes

The first crewed mission of Boeing's Starliner capsule has been in orbit for more than a month now, and it still doesn't have a return date.

Starliner launched June 5 on Crew Flight Test (CFT), carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station (ISS) for a planned week-long stay. The capsule experienced helium leaks and thruster problems during the trip, however, and engineers are still looking into what caused them — which means Starliner hasn't been cleared for departure yet.
