Boeing's crew returns to Earth from International Space Station, completing a repeat test flight before NASA astronauts climb aboard

Astronauts unloaded groceries and other supplies that flew up in the Boeing capsule, then filled it with empty air tanks and other discarded gear.

It was a quick trip back on Wednesday. The Starliner capsule parachuted into the New Mexico desert just four hours after leaving the orbiting lab, with airbags attached to cushion the landing. Only a mannequin was on board. NASA astronauts will strap in next for a trip to the space station. The space agency has long wanted two competing US companies ferrying astronauts, for added insurance as it drastically reduced its reliance on Russia for rides to and from the space station.Elon Musk’s SpaceX is already the established leader, launching astronauts since 2020 and even tourists.
