To Crew-10

Bouts Wilmore and Sunni Williams arrived at the space station on June 6 for a mission that was supposed to last about a week, but the couple was forced to extend their stay after their Boeing Starliner spaceships had problems. As a result, NASA decided that it was not safe for the astronauts to return and it was announced that Spacex would take them home.

SpaceX has launched crews at the NASA space station from 2020. Groups from the company and space organization say that astronauts are strictly preparing before all flights by providing guarantees for their safety, with officials stressing that this time too.

“We are not going to launch before we are ready,” said Ken Bowersox, head of NASA’s human space flight department during briefing last week. “We always analyze the data and make sure the rocket is ready to start before letting the SpaceX team press the button with our crew on the boat.”
