NASA Decides Fate of Starliner Astronauts' Return

NASA's crucial decision this weekend focuses on determining the safe return of astronauts Wilmore and Williams aboard Boeing's Starliner from the ISS. Evaluations, including thruster performance modeling and risk assessments, will shape the Flight Readiness Review outcome.

If Starliner remains unfit, SpaceX stands ready to retrieve the astronauts. With stakes high, this verdict not only impacts the astronauts' return but also the future of commercial crew programs and NASA's partnerships with Boeing and SpaceX.

Meanwhile, Russian seniors call on Putin to assist the stranded ISS astronauts, showcasing Russia's space prowess against American setbacks in the new Space Race.
