In his first press conference since coming on the spacecraft a month ago, Barry Butch Wilmore said that we are fully confident. You must have heard this mantra. Failure is not an option. That is why we are here. We are going to do this test. This is our job. It is worth mentioning that NASA officials and Boeing engineers are busy repairing the faulty thruster.

Senior NASA astronauts and former US Navy test pilots Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore left for the space station from Florida on June 5 in a space capsule of the private company Starliner. They were to return to Earth in barely eight days after completing some of their assigned tasks there. But due to technical faults in the capsule, this return is being continuously postponed. Due to problems in the Starliner's propulsion system, this mission has been postponed indefinitely.
