Manage episode 437333190 series 3433501
Boeing’s Starliner space capsule blasted off for its first crewed test flight in early June. Great news right? Turns out, no. After arriving at the International Space Station, some technical problems meant that it couldn’t be used to take its crew of Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore and Suni Williams back to Earth. The two astronauts were left with no way to get home.
The two capsules already docked at the space station couldn’t be used, so the astronauts were stranded.
Let’s find out what happened to Starliner, why couldn’t the other capsules be used, and how are the Starliner crew going to get home?
