In first, UK envoy to Malaysia to take on new role in 10 Downing Street as PM’s private secretary for foreign affairsThe US space agency has been discussing potential plans with SpaceX to leave two seats empty on an upcoming Crew Dragon launch for Nasa astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who became the first crew to fly Boeing's Starliner capsule.
A Boeing spokesperson said if Nasa decides to change Starliner's mission, the company"will take the actions necessary to configure Starliner for an uncrewed return." Using a SpaceX craft to return astronauts that Boeing had planned to bring back on Starliner would be a major blow to an aerospace giant that has struggled for years to compete with SpaceX and its more experienced Crew Dragon.
Starliner's high-stakes mission is a final test required before Nasa can certify the spacecraft for routine astronaut flights to and from the ISS. Crew Dragon received Nasa approval for astronaut flights in 2020. Nasa's ISS program chief said the agency has not yet decided which astronauts they would pull off the mission for Wilmore and Williams if needed.
