Boeing Starliner astronaut says the spacecraft is ‘truly amazing' despite malfunctions and delays

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft and its crew have been in space for longer than expected due to technical issues. The return date is still uncertain. The astronauts spoke positively about the spacecraft and its performance, even though there were some thruster failures and helium leaks during the mission. The Starliner team is conducting tests to investigate the problems. The primary concern is getting the astronauts home before the next mission arrives. Despite the setbacks, NASA and Boeing are confident in the spacecraft’s capability to bring the crew back safely. The goal is to understand the cause of the issues and make necessary adjustments.
