NASA to announce Boeing Starliner's return route for February 2025, based on new test data and risk assessment.

NASA is expected to announce on Saturday its decision regarding the return route of two astronauts aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which faced issues during its test mission in June. The astronauts, currently Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams, may return via a SpaceX vehicle if NASA deems Starliner unsafe, possibly in February 2025, or within a month if deemed safe. NASA's decision will be based on Boeing's new test data and the agency's low appetite for risk in the mission.
