Two astronauts at International Space Station will board SpaceX rocket in September instead of Boeing Starliner
Nasa on Friday cut two astronauts from the next crew to make room on the return trip for the two stuck on the International Space Station.
Nasa’s Nick Hague and the Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will launch in September onboard a SpaceX rocket for the orbiting laboratory. The duo will return with Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore in February. Nasa decided it was too risky for Williams and Wilmore to fly home in their Boeing Starliner capsule, marred by thruster troubles and helium leaks.
