The Boeing Starliner spacecraft has successfully landed from the International Space Station (ISS) to Earth at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico after an uncrewed return from ISS. NASA launched it to bring the stranded astronauts back to Earth, but due to a mysterious ‘pulsing’ sound, the starliner returned.
Now, both the stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore would return home in February 2025 in the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

After a safe return of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, NASA commended Boeing Starliner during a post-flight press conference where a few top officials were absent, but NASA’s program manager Steve Stich said “It was a bullseye landing,” “The entry in particular has been darn near flawless.”
Stitch further said that it was very early to discuss the next flight of Starliner, which is scheduled for August 2025.
After the return, Boeing Starliner already accomplished extensive ground testing to find the technical challenges faced by Starliner’s ascent.
