I recently wrote a story about the wild ride of the Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station last summer. It was based largely on an interview with the commander of the mission, NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore. His account of Starliner’s thruster failures—and his desperate efforts to keep the vehicle flying on course—was riveting. In the aftermath of the story, many readers, people on social media, and real-life friends congratulated me on conducting a great interview. But truth be

Rescued US astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore revealed that malfunctions on the Boeing Starliner were far dire than originally reported as the latter described the stomach-dropping moment they lost all control of the capsule. Wilmore gave a near minute-by-minute retelling of what went through his mind when four thrusters on the Boeing-made spacecraft failed while he and Williams were attempting to dock at the International Space Station. The near-catastrophic crisis caused Wilmore to l

As it flew up toward the International Space Station last summer, the Starliner spacecraft lost four thrusters. A NASA astronaut, Butch Wilmore, had to take manual control of the vehicle. But as its thrusters failed, Wilmore lost the ability to move Starliner in the direction he wanted to go. He and his fellow astronaut, Suni Williams, knew where they wanted to go. Starliner had flown to within a stone's throw of the space station, a safe harbor if only they could reach it. But already, the fai

NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore have been on the International Space Station for more than eight months, even though they initially expected to stay for just about eight days. It's finally time to come home, and their replacements are on the way. A relief crew for the ISS launched Friday, after two days of delays, the first due to a hydraulic system issue with a ground support clamp arm for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the second due to weather.

Elon Musk's attempt to blame the Biden administration for why the pair of astronauts aboard the International Space Station have had to stay even longer in orbit is blowing up in his face — again. In a Fox News interview alongside president Donald Trump last month, Musk boldly claimed that Joe Biden opted to leave the NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, in space for "political reasons," rather than bring them home sooner. Williams and Wilmore have been aboard the ISS for eight mon
