NASA Astronauts Say They Would Fly on Boeing’s Starliner Again

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were brought back to Earth in a SpaceX capsule after problems with Boeing’s Starliner delayed their return by about nine months.

“We’re going to rectify all issues that we encountered.” “Yeah.” “We’re going to fix them. We’re going to make it work. Boeing’s completely committed. NASA is completely committed. And with that, I’d get on in a heartbeat.” “Yeah, I would, I would agree. The spacecraft is really capable. There were a couple of things that need to be fixed, like Butch mentioned, and folks are actively working on that. But it’s, it is a great spacecraft and it has a lot of capability that other spacecraft don’t have. And to see that thing successful and to be part of that program is an honor.” “Blame, that’s a term — I don’t like that term, but certainly there’s responsibility throughout all the programs. And certainly you can, you can start with me. Responsibility with Boeing? Yes. Responsibility with NASA? Yes. All the way up and down the chain, we all are responsible. We all own this.”
